What’s New in 1.0? This release is completely rewritten from the earlier 0.2 version. The output includes more details about the location of unknown words in the source files being processed, and the output is saved for reference and review. It also includes more extensive documentation.
What’s New in 1.3 Redo the packaging for the documentation. Change the location where hooks are created for new projects to use VIRTUALENVWRAPPER_HOOK_DIR instead of WORKON_HOME. This makes 1.3 compatible with virtualenvwrapper 2.7. Update the test suite and verify that all tests pass on OS X and Ubuntu 10.10. Features Manages your development project work directories along with your virtualenv environments. Defines an API for creating templates to quickly create new environments consistently.
What’s New in 2.7 This release clears most of the bugs from the backlog and adds a few new features.
Fix problem with space in WORKON_HOME path (#79). Fix problem with argument processing in lsvirtualenv under zsh (#86). Thanks to Nat Williams for the bug report and patch. If WORKON_HOME does not exist, create it. Patch from Carl Karsten. Test updates based on patches from Matt Austin and Hugo Lopes Tavares.
My publisher arranged to send physical copies of The Python Standard Library By Example so I could bring them to PyCon. Some of them are going into the door prize pool, and there will be at least one copy in the bookstore for anyone who wants to look it over before committing to buying. Although, the Safari edition is probably more convenient for perusing. This book isn’t going to be exactly light reading:
I received a review copy of Brandon Rhodes’ Foundations of Python Network Programming from Apress a few weeks ago, but had to wait to read it until my own book was complete. I finished reading it this weekend, and it was worth the wait.
Quick Review Inspired by Gene Ambaum and Bill Barnes’ review short-cuts, this is my review for the impatient reader.
Why I picked it up: I know Brandon through PyATL and was confident that his years of experience would ensure that he put out a high quality book.
I am excited to announce the impending release of The Python Standard Library By Example, a book based on my Python Module of the Week blog series. The book presents selected examples from the blog, each demonstrating how to use the most useful features of a module in the Python standard library.
The manuscript is in the final production phase now, with an anticipated release date in June 2011. A prerelease version is available to subscribers of Safari Books Online through the Rough Cuts program.
I’m updating my site, and eliminating a lot of the extra RSS feeds for tracking releases of individual projects. In the future I will post notices for releases to this blog instead. If you are following one of those feeds, consider subscribing to my main feed:
