Hi All,


I'm happy to announce that Python(x, y) 2.7.9.0 is available for immediate download.from any of the mirrors. The full change log can be viewed here. Please post your comments and suggestions to the mailing list.

Work on the 64 bit & 3.x versions progresses slowly but surely. They will happen eventually :)

What's new in general:

  • The official Visual C++ for python 2.7 has replaced MinGW as the bundled compiler. Finally everyone can enjoy native python binary extenions for win32. MinGW is still available as an additional plugin.
  • Console2 has been replaced with ConsoleZ - a actively developed fork. Which adds split views and many other improvements.
  • Maintaining 2/3 code base is much easier with the inclusion of python-modernize. Also all backports have been updated and expanded with unittest2.
  • All packages updated to their latest versions (at the time) - IPython, GDAL, SciPy, ITK, VTK. sqlalchemy, Astropy, SWIG etc. 
  • User Local install support has been revived - it is still experimental though.
  • Numpy has been held back at 1.8.2 to avoid potential comparability issues.

New noteworthy packages:

  • cvxpy- A domain-specific language for modeling convex optimization problems in Python.
  • grin - Utility which searches directories of source code better than grep or find.
Have fun!

-Gabi Davar

Hi, Thanks for the new update!

Now that MinGW is gone, I'm having trouble getting distutils to work: I'm getting the "vcvarsall.bat" not found error again. Is there a new fix to distutils.cfg I can do to fix this?

Thanks,
  Michael

where is the source code of pythonxy? google code is going to be shut down, gabi, it's better to backup code of pythonxy to vcs such as github:)

The "source" code of Python(x, y) is pretty large as it includes all the binaries. It is beyond the advertised limits of Github. 

After 2.7.10.0 (any day now - really!) I'll invest what time I have into this issue.

maybe you could distribute the binaries to sourceforge, and only host the source on github, you know linux kernel is now hosted on github, so i think pythonxy could be hosted there:)
btw, why source of pythonxy is no longer hosted on goolge code, though the pythonxy project is still there

github now have "github release" that allow to distribute binaries.

I don't use it, but that could be what you are looking for.
