See http://gmpy.sourceforge.net/ for details.
What is it: a wrapper for the GMP library, to provide multi-precision
arithmetic for Python. Multi-precision floats, and unbounded-precision
rationals, are not present in stock Python; multi-precision integers
('long') are, but gmpy's version of multi-precision integers is faster
for some operations (NOT all -- used to be, but Python 2.3 did serious
enhancements to some operations on longs) and provides lots of nifty
pre-packaged additional functions.
Minor changes and bug-fixes since the latest 0.9 pre-alpha; support for
Python 2.3. The Windows binary release is now for Python 2.3 _only_ (if
you're stuck with Python 2.2 on Windows, you can keep using gmpy 0.9
pre-alpha and not really suffer from that). Known bug on Windows: the
scan0 and scan1 functions appear broken (perhaps related to the lack of
a GMP 4.0 library for Windows -- haven't found one around yet).

SMC - The State Machine Compiler v. 4.1.0
Requires: Java 1.4.1 SE (Standard Edition) or better.
Download: http://sourceforge.net/projects/smc
Home Page: http://smc.sourceforge.net
=================================================================
What's New?
=================================================================
+ Added a "%access" keyword which sets the generated context
class' accessibility level. This level is used when generating
Java and C# code and ignored for all other target languages.
=================================================================
Bug fixes
=================================================================
+ (Java) The previous release set the context class'
accessibility level to package if the %package was specified.
This was a mistake. The %access keyword now solves this
problem.
=================================================================
What is SMC?
=================================================================
SMC takes a state machine description (stored in a .sm file) and
generates State pattern classes in a target language (C++, Java,
Tcl, VB.Net, C# and Python are currently supported). SMC is a
console-based app written in Java which means SMC can run
anywhere Java (1.4.1 or better) can run. The download package
includes an example directory showing how SMC can used with C++,
Java, Tcl (requires [incr Tcl] package), VB.Net, C# and Python.
The examples range from trivial to GUI apps.
=================================================================
How can I learn more?
=================================================================
At http://smc.sourceforge.net. You can access the SMC
Programmer's Manual there as well. While you're there, check out
the SMC demo applet at http://smc.sourceforge.net/SmcDemo.htm.
=================================================================
Where can I get it?
=================================================================
SMC and the Programmer's Manual can be downloaded from
http://sourceforge.net/projects/smc. You can also use this
website to:
+ Ask questions (via the Public Forum's Help discussion)
+ Submit a bug.
+ Join a mailing list.
+ Access SMC documentation.
+ Access SMC's source code in the CVS repository.

Hi,
The version 0.4.1 of Fail2Ban is available.
This version contains only a bug fix in textToDNS and a more readable
configuration file. A initd script for Gentoo is also available.
I would really appreciate initd scripts for others distributions.
"Fail2Ban is written in Python. It scans log files like /var/log/pwdfail
or /var/log/apache/error_log and bans IP that makes too many password
failures. It updates firewall rules to reject the IP address."

Hallöchen!
At http://pyvisa.sourceforge.net you can find information about the
PyVISA package. It realises Python bindings for the VISA library
which enables you to control measurement devices via Python source.
Today I released version 0.9. I tried to provide it with good
documentation. It works very nicely with the GPIB in our lab,
however, I haven't yet received feedback from others, so I leave it
in beta status and with a version number < 1.
Tschö,
Torsten.
