Introduction
Tentative plans for Python(x, y), may change without warning. Comments are welcome.
2.7.2.2 - December 2011 February 2012
- Restore ITK - DONE
- package updates - DONE
- bug-fixes
- IPython optional dependencies:
- ZopeInterface
- Foolscap
- PyOpenSSL
- Twisted
2.7.x.x x64 - 2012
3.2.x.x - 2012
- Depends on package migration rate.
Additional Plugins
- PyYaml
- pyshp
- Spectral Python
- pyDSTools
- Grib
- Shapely
2.7.2.1 - End of October 2011 - Released!
- restore ITK
- package updates
- bug-fixes
- restore additional plugins.
- create an eclipse package (tentative).
2.7.2.0 - Released!
Definitive:
- Various fixes and cleanups to the build system.
- Eclipse is relegated to additional package status. The reasons being sheer size, maintenance and reduced value.
- replace pyopencv with cv - DONE!
- cx_Freeze - DONE!
- Pip - DONE!
- IPython optional dependencies:
- ZopeInterface
- Foolscap
- PyOpenSSL
- Twisted (needed for IPython)
- Distribute instead of setuptools - Done.
On the table:
- Eric - Spyder is good enough, perhaps as an additional package later.
- PySide instead/alongside of PyQt4 - Still on the table, future is questionable as funding is expected to dry up.
Package updates and many more:
- mxBase 3.2.0
- netCDF4 0.9.5
- ETS 4.0.0
- ITK 3.2.0 (tentative)
2.6.6.1 - Released! (2011-05-11)
- Numpy 1.6.0
- PyQwt 5.2.1.2
- netCDF4 0.9.4
- Veusz 1.11
- SWIG 2.0.4
- guiqwt 2.1.3 - fixed an issue where libstdc++ was missing - making it dependent on MingW being present.
- quidata 1.3.1
- IPython 0.10.2 + updated CHM manual
- Pyreadline 1.7
- Spyder 2.0.11
- scikits.learn 0.8.0
- pydev 2.0
What is the suggested IDE to replace Eclipse? The description above hints that Eclipse may be on its way out...
Looking forward for the 3.2 release!
Speaking of 3.2, is there/should there be a scorecard somewhere indicating which packages are available for which versions of Python? Would it make sense to support a partial installation of python(x,y) at 3.x, excluding whichever things aren't ready yet, and let users decide if they can live without them?
I'm aware of no such scoreboard. The closest is Christoph Gohlke's "http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/". The suggested course of action sound quite logical - it is very likely we'll adopt it. We're still undecided where to concentrate our efforts - 3.2 or 2.7.2.x 64bit.
