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.
