ANN: Python-Blosc2 3.1.1 has been released!
by Francesc Alted Feb. 14, 2025

Feb. 14, 2025

Announcing Python-Blosc2 3.1.0 (and 3.1.1) ========================================== This is a minor release where we optimized the performance of the internal compute engine, as well as indexing for NDArrays. We also added new API: * blosc2.evaluate: a drop-in replacement of numexpr.evaluate(). This allows to evaluate expressions with combinations of NDArrays and NumPy arrays. In addition, it has the next improvements: - More functionality than numexpr (e.g. reductions). - Follow casting rules of NumPy more closely. - Use both NumPy arrays and Blosc2 NDArrays in the same expression. * blosc2.jit: a decorator to compile a function with a NumPy expression using the compute engine of Blosc2. Useful to speed up the evaluation of pure NumPy expressions at runtime. You can think of Python-Blosc2 3.0 as an extension of NumPy/numexpr that: - Can deal with ndarrays compressed using first-class codecs & filters. - Performs many kind of math expressions, including reductions, indexing... - Supports broadcasting operations. - Supports NumPy ufunc mechanism: mix and match NumPy and Blosc2 computations. - Integrates with Numba and Cython via UDFs (User Defined Functions). - Adheres to modern NumPy casting rules way better than numexpr. - Computes expressions only when needed. They can also be stored for later use. Install it with:: pip install blosc2 --update # if you prefer wheels conda install -c conda-forge python-blosc2 mkl # if you prefer conda and MKL For more info, you can have a look at the release notes in: https://github.com/Blosc/python-blosc2/releases Code example:: from time import time import blosc2 import numpy as np # Create some data operands N = 20_000 a = blosc2.linspace(0, 1, N * N, dtype="float32", shape=(N, N)) b = blosc2.linspace(1, 2, N * N, shape=(N, N)) c = blosc2.linspace(-10, 10, N) # broadcasting is supported # Expression t0 = time() expr = ((a**3 + blosc2.sin(c * 2)) < b) & (c > 0) print(f"Time to create expression: {time()-t0:.5f}") # Evaluate while reducing (yep, reductions are in) along axis 1 t0 = time() out = blosc2.sum(expr, axis=1) t1 = time() - t0 print(f"Time to compute with Blosc2: {t1:.5f}") # Evaluate using NumPy na, nb, nc = a[:], b[:], c[:] t0 = time() nout = np.sum(((na**3 + np.sin(nc * 2)) < nb) & (nc > 0), axis=1) t2 = time() - t0 print(f"Time to compute with NumPy: {t2:.5f}") print(f"Speedup: {t2/t1:.2f}x") assert np.all(out == nout) print("All results are equal!") This will output something like (using an Intel i9-13900X CPU here):: Time to create expression: 0.00033 Time to compute with Blosc2: 0.46387 Time to compute with NumPy: 2.57469 Speedup: 5.55x All results are equal!

ANN: psutil 7.0.0 released (remove Python 2.7 support)
by Giampaolo Rodola' Feb. 13, 2025

Feb. 13, 2025

Hello all, I'm glad to announce the release of psutil 7.0.0: https://github.com/giampaolo/psutil About ===== psutil (process and system utilities) is a cross-platform library for retrieving information on running processes and system utilization (CPU, memory, disks, network) in Python. It is useful mainly for system monitoring, profiling and limiting process resources and management of running processes. It implements many functionalities offered by command line tools such as: ps, top, lsof, netstat, ifconfig, who, df, kill, free, nice, ionice, iostat, iotop, uptime, pidof, tty, taskset, pmap. It currently supports Linux, Windows, macOS, Sun Solaris, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD and AIX. Supported Python versions are cPython 3.6+ and PyPy. This release removes support for Python 2.7. See blog post: https://gmpy.dev/blog/2025/psutil-drop-python-27-support What's new ========== 2025-02-13 **Enhancements** - #669, [Windows]: `net_if_addrs()`_ also returns the ``broadcast`` address instead of ``None``. - #2480: Python 2.7 is no longer supported. Latest version supporting Python 2.7 is psutil 6.1.X. Install it with: ``pip2 install psutil==6.1.*``. - #2490: removed long deprecated ``Process.memory_info_ex()`` method. It was deprecated in psutil 4.0.0, released 8 years ago. Substitute is ``Process.memory_full_info()``. **Bug fixes** - #2496, [Linux]: Avoid segfault (a cPython bug) on ``Process.memory_maps()`` for processes that use hundreds of GBs of memory. - #2502, [macOS]: `virtual_memory()`_ now relies on ``host_statistics64`` instead of ``host_statistics``. This is the same approach used by ``vm_stat`` CLI tool, and should grant more accurate results. **Compatibility notes** - #2480: Python 2.7 is no longer supported. - #2490: removed long deprecated ``Process.memory_info_ex()`` method.

imaplib changes in Python 3.14.0 alpha 5
by Forest Feb. 13, 2025

Feb. 13, 2025

Hi, folks. The IMAP4 IDLE command has landed in imaplib as of Python 3.14.0 alpha 5, along with some internal module changes to support it. If you maintain code that uses imaplib, now would be a good time to test it with the latest alpha. If you've been wanting IMAP IDLE support, now would be a good time to try the new feature with your mail server(s) of choice. Cheers!

Python 3.14.0 alpha 5
by Hugo van Kemenade Feb. 11, 2025

Feb. 11, 2025

Here comes the antepenultimate alpha. https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-3140a5/ This is an early developer preview of Python 3.14. Major new features of the 3.14 series, compared to 3.13: Python 3.14 is still in development. This release, 3.14.0a5, is the fifth of seven planned alpha releases. Alpha releases are intended to make it easier to test the current state of new features and bug fixes and to test the release process. During the alpha phase, features may be added up until the start of the beta phase (2025-05-06) and, if necessary, may be modified or deleted up until the release candidate phase (2025-07-22). Please keep in mind that this is a preview release and its use is not recommended for production environments. Many new features for Python 3.14 are still being planned and written. Among the new major new features and changes so far: - PEP 649: deferred evaluation of annotations - PEP 741: Python configuration C API - PEP 761: Python 3.14 and onwards no longer provides PGP signatures for release artifacts. Instead, Sigstore is recommended for verifiers. - Improved error messages - A new type of interpreter. For certain newer compilers, this interpreter provides significantly better performance. Opt-in for now, requires building from source. - Python removals and deprecations - C API removals and deprecations - (Hey, fellow core developer, if a feature you find important is missing from this list, let Hugo know.) The next pre-release of Python 3.14 will be the penultimate alpha, 3.14.0a6, currently scheduled for 2025-03-14. More resources: - Online documentation: https://docs.python.org/3.14/ - PEP 745, 3.14 Release Schedule: https://peps.python.org/pep-0745/ - Report bugs at https://github.com/python/cpython/issues - Help fund Python and its community: https://www.python.org/psf/donations/ And now for something completely different! 2025-01-29 marked the start of a new lunar year, the Year of the Snake 🐍 (and the Year of Python?). For centuries, π was often approximated as 3 in China. Some time between the years 1 and 5 CE, astronomer, librarian, mathematician and politician Liu Xin (劉歆) calculated π as 3.154. Around 130 CE, mathematician, astronomer, and geographer Zhang Heng (張衡, 78–139) compared the celestial circle with the diameter of the earth as 736:232 to get 3.1724. He also came up with a formula for the ratio between a cube and inscribed sphere as 8:5, implying the ratio of a square’s area to an inscribed circle is √8:√5. From this, he calculated π as √10 (~3.162). Third century mathematician Liu Hui (刘徽) came up with an algorithm for calculating π iteratively: calculate the area of a polygon inscribed in a circle, then as the number of sides of the polygon is increased, the area becomes closer to that of the circle, from which you can approximate π. This algorithm is similar to the method used by Archimedes in the 3rd century BCE and Ludolph van Ceulen in the 16th century CE (see 3.14.0a2 release notes), but Archimedes only went up to a 96-sided polygon (96-gon). Liu Hui went up to a 192-gon to approximate π as 157/50 (3.14) and later a 3072-gon for 3.14159. Liu Hu wrote a commentary on the book The Nine Chapters on the Mathematical Art which included his π approximations. In the fifth century, astronomer, inventor, mathematician, politician, and writer Zu Chongzhi (祖沖之, 429–500) used Liu Hui’s algorithm to inscribe a 12,288-gon to compute π between 3.1415926 and 3.1415927, correct to seven decimal places. This was more accurate than Hellenistic calculations and wouldn’t be improved upon for 900 years. Happy Year of the Snake! Enjoy the new release Thanks to all of the many volunteers who help make Python Development and these releases possible!
