From: "M.-A. Lemburg" <mal@lemburg.com> Subject: mxTools Package - Version 0.9.0 Date: Sun, 25 Oct 98 15:58:26 GMT ANNOUNCING: mxTools Version 0.9.0 A Python extension package providing additional builtin functions/objects for use in Python WHAT IT IS: mxTools is an extension package that includes a collection of handy functions and objects giving additional functionality in form of new builtins to the Python programmer. You'll find many functions in there that you've missed in the core interpreter, e.g. dict() or irange(). The package auto-installs the new functions and objects as builtins upon first import. This means that they become instantely available to all other modules without any further action on your part. Add the line 'import NewBuiltins' to your site.py script and they will be available to all users at your site as if they were installed in the Python interpreter itself. WHAT'S NEW ? Version 0.9.0 adds some new functions and includes a bit of cleanup for the existing ones giving them more intuitive names. Old namings will continue to work for a while but will eventually be removed in future releases. As a small highlight, this release offers an acquisition function plus example of usage that will work with the normal Python interpreter without the need to tweak the class implementation. WHERE CAN I GET IT ? The full documentation and instructions for downloading and installing the package can be found at: http://starship.skyport.net/~lemburg/mxTools.html WHAT DOES IT COST ? It comes with a Python-style license, but is otherwise free for commercial and non-commercial use. WHERE CAN I GET SUPPORT ? I will be offering commercial support for this package through Python Professional Services Inc. (http://www.pythonpros.com). Since the support service is still in the setup phase I am very interested in hearing suggestions from you. For more information on conditions and rates please contact me: mailto:mal@lemburg.com.
