Tramline 0.5.1 Released
by Kit BLAKE 22 Jan '07

22 Jan '07

Tramline 0.5.1 Released 23 january 2007 – Infrae has just released version 0.5.1 of Tramline. This version has improved installation and configuration, an example of setting up Tramline with Zope3, and various bug fixes. What is Tramline? Tramline is an upload and download accelerator that plugs into Apache using mod_python. Its aim is to make downloading and uploading large media to an application server easy and fast, without overloading the application server with large amounts of binary data. Only a small configuration change in Apache is necessary to enable Tramline. The application server remains in complete control over security, page and form rendering, and everything else. Minimal changes are necessary to any application to enable it to work with Tramline; in fact it’s just setting two response headers in a couple places in the code. Changes in this version * Easily installable using setuptools * Easier configuration through the Apache config files * Includes an example for setting up Tramline together with Zope 3 * Various bugfixes. Thanks to Embyr Thomas for his multipart/form-data fix, and to Chad Maine (who was able to upload over 1000 files in a single POST to a Django app!). Download Tramline 0.5.1 can be downloaded from: http://infrae.com/download/tramline. Credit We would like to thank the people at the University of Bedfordshire for making Tramline possible.

Barring any problems, the final version will be released in about a week. What is the CMF? The Zope Content Management Framework provides a set of services and content objects useful for building highly dynamic, content-oriented portal sites. The CMF provides the foundation for popular software packages such as Plone. It is intended to be easily customizable, in terms of both the types of content used and the policies and services it provides. Where do I get it? For release files, change logs, installation instructions and more please visit http://www.zope.org/Products/CMF/CMF-1.6.3-beta. Roadmap and release information can be found at http://www.zope.org/Products/CMF/docs/roadmap. The CMF mailing list can be reached at the zope-cmf(a)zope.org address, to sign up please visit http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope- cmf. Please file bug reports, feature requests or suggestions in the CMF bug collector at http://www.zope.org/Collectors/CMF . What has changed since the last release? Bug Fixes - CMFCalendar: Refactored test setup to fix test breakage for Zope 2.9. - CMFDefault: The "Sample CMF Content" GenericSetup profile was registered but missing all of its files and necessary interface declarations in the CMFDefault content classes.

Mini-tutorials on the Zope component architecture and on zc.buildout at PyCon
by Jim Fulton 12 Jan '07

12 Jan '07

At PyCon: http://us.pycon.org/TX2007/HomePage I'll be giving a tutorial that combines two separate mini-tutorials: http://us.pycon.org/TX2007/TutorialsAM#AM7 The first mini-tutorial is on the Zope Component Architecture. The Zope Component Architecture, which isn't tied to the Zope Web application server, provides mechanisms for assembling, extending, and integrating applications using loosely-coupled parts. The tutorial will explain why one would want to use a component system, including when to and when *not* to use components. It will provide a high-level introduction to the main features of the Zope component architecture, comparing it to other Python solutions to the same kinds of problems the Component Architecture addresses. The second mini-tutorial provides an introduction to zc.buildout. zc.buildout is a system for automating the assembly and deployment of applications having many parts. It also provides a mechanism for installing and assembling Python eggs in ways that are especially helpful during development and when creating larger applications. The tutorial will explain and show examples of using zc.buildout to - Create a sandbox for experimenting with packages without installing them into a system Python. - Create development environments for working on packages. - Create system with multiple applications. To get the most from zc.buildout requires some knowledge of using and creating eggs. The mini tutorial will provide a lazy programmer's introduction to using and creating eggs. To find out more see: http://us.pycon.org/TX2007/TutorialsAM#AM7 Hurry! PyCon early-bird registration ends soon. :) Jim -- Jim Fulton mailto:jim@zope.com Python Powered!

Reminder: Early Bird Registration for PyCon Ending Soon
by Jeff Rush 10 Jan '07

10 Jan '07

Greetings. As the co-chair for the upcoming Python conference, being held in Dallas (Addison) Texas, I want to remind folk to register before early bird registration prices end. The event is the fifth international Python Conference, being held Feb 23-25, 2007 at the Marriott-Quorum in Addison Texas, with early-bird registration ending **Jan 15**. The conference draws approximately 400-500 attendees from diverse backgrounds such as scientists from national and medical labs, college/K-12 educators, web engineers and the myriad of IT developers and programming hobbyists. Those new to the Python language are welcome, and we're offering a half-day "Python 101" tutorial on the day before the conference, Thursday Feb 22 to help you get up to speed and better enjoy the rest of the conference. We have a great selection of talks this year, some of which that are relevant to Zope are: - Web Frameworks Panel - Introduction to Zope 3 - The Component Architecture - Panel: State of Zope - WSGI: An Introduction - Using Python Eggs - Distributing your project with Python Eggs - Half-Day Tutorial: zc.buildout and the Zope Component Architecture - Half-Day Tutorial: How to Document a Python Open Source Project Being run by the Python community as a non-profit event, the conference strives to be inexpensive, with registration being only $260 (or $195 if you register prior to Jan 15th), with a further discount for students. On the day before the conference we are running a full day of classroom tutorials (extra charge per class) and then after the conference is a free four-days of sprints, which are informal gatherings of programmers to work together in coding on various projects. Sprints are excellent opportunities to do agile pair-programming side-by-side with experienced programmers and make new friends. Other activities are lightning talks, which are 5-minute presentations to show off a cool technology or spread the word about a project, open space talks, which are spontaneous gatherings around a topic and, new this year, a Python Lab where experienced and novice programmers will work together to solve challenging problems and then present their solutions. The conference is also running four keynote talks by leaders in the programming field, with a special focus on education this year: "The Power of Dangerous Ideas: Python and One Laptop per Child" by Ivan Krstic, senior member of the One Laptop per Child project "Premise: eLearning does not Belong in Public Schools" by Adele Goldberg, of SmallTalk fame "Python 3000" by Guido van Rossum, creator of Python "The Importance of Programming Literacy" by Robert M. "r0ml" Lefkowitz, a frequent speaker at O'Reilly conferences I believe you will find the conference educational and enjoyable. More information about the conference along with the full schedule of presentations with abstracts, is available online: http://us.pycon.org/ Thanks for any help you can give in spreading the word, Jeff Rush Co-Chair PyCon 2007
