MailingLogger 3.2.2 Released!
by Chris Withers 10 Nov '08

10 Nov '08

I'm pleased to announce a new release of Mailinglogger that finally correctly supports easy_install and so works fine with zc.buildout-based projects. In fact, MailingLogger has *become* a zc.buildout-based project for its development... Anyway, Mailinglogger provides two handlers for the standard python logging framework that enable log entries to be emailed either as the entries are logged or as a summary at the end of the running process. The handlers have the following features: - customisable and dynamic subject lines for emails sent - emails sent with an X-Mailer header for easy filtering - flood protection to ensure the number of emails sent is not excessive - support for SMTP servers that require authentication - fully documented and tested In addition, extra support is provided for configuring the handlers when using ZConfig, Zope 2 or Zope 3. Installation is as easy as: easy_install mailinglogger For more information, please see: http://www.simplistix.co.uk/software/python/mailinglogger or http://pypi.python.org/pypi/mailinglogger cheers, Chris -- Simplistix - Content Management, Zope & Python Consulting - http://www.simplistix.co.uk

First 'five.grok' release
by Kit BLAKE 24 Oct '08

24 Oct '08

First five.grok release The developers of five.grok are pleased to announce a 1.0a1 release. This is a milestone in the convergence of Zope 2 towards Zope 3 technology. The five.grok component makes the ease of Grok – with its convention over configuration approach – available to existing Zope 2 applications. The five.grok initiative was begun by Lennart Regebro and Godefroid Chapelle at the Paris Sprint at Ingeniweb. five.grok is already in use in Martin Aspeli's Dexterity and Infrae's content management system Silva. What is five.grok? five.grok is a development layer for Zope 2, based on Grok framework concepts. The development techniques are similar to those used in Grok. The component is based on grokcore namespace packages that were factored out of Grok. Implemented features five.grok makes the following components available to Zope 2 developers: * Zope 3 Component (Adapter, Utility, Subscribers) * Permissions * Views * Page Templates (using the Zope 2 Page Templates) * Formlib forms * Skins All these components are available with exactly the same syntax as in Grok. More information You can refer to the Grok website: http://grok.zope.org/ and Grok documentation: http://grok.zope.org/documentation/. Check the doctests included in the sources as well. Download The package is available at the Python Package Index: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/five.grok/1.0a1.

Grok 0.14 released!
by Martijn Faassen 29 Sep '08

29 Sep '08

The Grok team is happy to announce the release of Grok 0.14! This release is available on PyPI and a new index of specific versions of packages used by this release has been frozen at http://grok.zope.org/releaseinfo/grok-0.14.cfg. This means that new projects created with grokproject will start using this release right away. This release is the first release of Grok that officially supports Python 2.5 (besides Python 2.4 itself). The main focus of this release has been a restructuring of Grok, spinning off packages that can now be used independently in Zope 3 projects as well as in Zope 2 (through five.grok): * Spin off of grokcore.view - support for views is now maintained in this package. * Spin off of grokcore.security - support for security declarations is now maintained here * Spin off of grokcore.formlib - support for zope.formlib based forms * Spin off of grokui.admin - the admin UI is now distributed separately, but grokproject automatically will include it when you create a new grok project. * the grok.Skin baseclass is now gone and has been simplified with the grok.skin directive that can be placed on a layer instead. To upgrade an existing project from 0.13 to 0.14 you have to: * include grokui.admin explicitly as a dependency in your setup.py * update the versions.cfg in your project with the version from http://grok.zope.org/releaseinfo/grok-0.14.cfg * modify uses of grok.Skin to use the grok.skin directive For the detailed changelog, see Grok's PyPI entry page. For detailed upgrade notes, including how to change your application, see http://grok.zope.org/project/upgrade-notes For installation instructions and much more on how to use Grok, see the Grok tutorial: http://grok.zope.org/documentation/book We hope to hear from you!

zc.async 1.5.0
by Gary Poster 22 Sep '08

22 Sep '08

http://pypi.python.org/pypi/zc.async =========== What is it? =========== The ``zc.async`` package provides **an easy-to-use Python tool that schedules work persistently and reliably across multiple processes and machines.** For instance... - *Web apps*: maybe your web application lets users request the creation of a large PDF, or some other expensive task. - *Postponed work*: maybe you have a job that needs to be done at a certain time, not right now. - *Parallel processing*: maybe you have a long-running problem that can be made to complete faster by splitting it up into discrete parts, each performed in parallel, across multiple machines. - *Serial processing*: maybe you want to decompose and serialize a job. High-level features include the following: - easy to use; - flexible configuration, changeable dynamically in production; - reliable; - supports high availability; - good debugging tools; - well-tested; and - friendly to testing. While developed as part of the Zope project, zc.async can be used stand-alone. ================= How does it work? ================= The system uses the Zope Object Database (ZODB), a transactional, pickle-based Python object database, for communication and coordination among participating processes. zc.async participants can each run in their own process, or share a process (run in threads) with other code. The Twisted framework supplies some code (failures and reactor implementations, primarily) and some concepts to the package. ====================== Where can I read more? ====================== Quickstarts and in-depth documentation are available in the package and in the `new and exciting on-line documentation`_. .. _`new and exciting on-line documentation`: http://packages.python.org/zc.async/1.5.0/ Thanks for your attention Gary

Grok 0.13 released!
by Jan-Wijbrand Kolman 23 Jun '08

23 Jun '08

Hi everybody, The Grok team is happy to announce the release of Grok 0.13! This release is available on PyPI and a new index of specific versions of packages used by this release has been frozen at http://grok.zope.org/releaseinfo/grok-0.13.cfg. This means that new projects created with grokproject will start using this release right away. New Features ------------ * New ``grok.traversable`` directive to make individual attributes traversable without having to write a ``traverse`` method. Just give it the attribute name and the attribute becomes traversable. * ``grok.require`` now also accepts the permission class directly as an argument, instead of just the permission name. * The view ``url`` method has an optional parameter ``data``, which is a dictionary with URL parameters to generate. * New ``grok.OrderedContainer`` component. * Easier test setup infrastructure in ``z3c.testsetup``, see `tests- with-grok-testing`_ for more details. .. _`tests-with-grok-testing`: http://grok.zope.org/documentation/how-to/tests-with-grok-testing * Improvements to viewlet support. ``Viewlet`` and ViewletManager`` templates now both receives a ``view`` namespace which is the view the viewlet is in. This is a difference from how viewlets worked before. Also added ``viewlet`` and ``viewletmanager`` namespace to the template. Restructuring ------------- * The Grok dependencies now make use of the latest known-good ones from Zope 3 (KGS). * The basic component base classes (``Adapter``, ``MultiAdapter``, ``GlobalUtility``), their grokkers, as well as many of the basic directives have been factored out to a reusable ``grokcore.component`` package. * Ported directives to Martian's new directive implementation. As a result, many helper functions that were available from ``grok.util`` were removed. The functionality is mostly available from the directives themselves now. * Refactored class grokkers to make use of Martian's new declarative way for retrieving directive data from classes, and Martian's new declarative way to write grokkers. See the `upgrade notes`_ (``doc/upgrade.txt``) for more information. .. _`upgrade notes`: http://grok.zope.org/project/upgrade-notes Upgrading --------- To upgrade an existing project from 0.12.x to 0.13 you have to: 1. change the 'extends' directive in your project's buildout.cfg to point to http://grok.zope.org/releaseinfo/grok-0.13.cfg 2. run bin/buildout in your project, to update the dependencies including the 0.13 egg of Grok itself For the detailed changelog, see Grok's PyPI entry page. For detailed upgrade notes, including how to change your application, see http://grok.zope.org/project/upgrade-notes For installation instructions and much more on how to use Grok, see the Grok tutorial: http://grok.zope.org/documentation/book/ We hope to hear from you! ------------------------- If you enjoy Grok, please subscribe to the `grok-dev mailing list`_ and join us in the #grok channel on irc.freenode.net. .. _`grok-dev mailing list`: http://grok.zope.org/community/grok-dev-mailinglist -- Jan-Wijbrand Kolman
