Mpmath is a pure-Python library for multiprecision floating-point arithmetic. It provides an extensive set of transcendental functions, unlimited exponent sizes, complex numbers, interval arithmetic, numerical integration and differentiation, root-finding, linear algebra, and much more. Almost any calculation can be performed just as well at 10-digit or 1000-digit precision, and in many cases mpmath implements asymptotically fast algorithms that scale well for extremely high precision work. If available, mpmath will (optionally) use gmpy to speed up high precision operations.

Neat script I wrote for a friend to annotate a Python script with the types observed during a run of the program

PyProtocols extends the PEP 246 adapt() function with a new "declaration API" that lets you easily define your own protocols and adapters, and declare what adapters should be used to adapt what types, objects, or protocols.  In addition to its own Interface type, PyProtocols can also use Twisted and Zope's Interface types too.  (Of course, since Twisted and Zope interfaces aren't as flexible, only a subset of the PyProtocols API works with them.  Specific limitations are listed in the documentation.)

PyNGL (pronounced "pingle") is a Python language module used to visualize scientific data, with an emphasis on high quality 2D visualizations. A working knowledge of Python is assumed.

In our last article on compression we showed you how to demonstrate run time encoding in Python. In this article we'll show you how to implement another kind of compression, Huffman encoding, which is useful when dealing with small sets of items, such as character strings.

Re: Kill process based on window name (win32) Thank you Roger. Your advice did the trick. For anyone interested, the basic code to terminate a process (politely) would be something like this (hwnd is retrieved using win32gui.EnumerateWindows): # Get the window's process id's t, p = win32process.GetWindowThreadProcessId(hwnd) # Ask window nicely to close win32gui.PostMessage(hwnd, win32con.WM_CLOSE, 0, 0) # Allow some time for app to close time.sleep(10) # If app didn't close, force close try: handle = win32api.OpenProcess(win32con.PROCESS_TERMINATE, 0, p) if handle: win32api.TerminateProcess(handle,0) win32api.CloseHandle(handle) except: pass:

pyPortMidi is a Python wrapper I wrote for PortMidi. PortMidi is a cross-platform C library for realtime MIDI control. Using pyPortMidi, you can send and receive MIDI data in realtime from Python.

Speech Recognition may be possible with COM. I found an example of how its done in Python.

Looks like foom is busy. Anyway, here is the verbatim translation of the script foom linked. I can't test it myself as no mike is installed on my machine. If you hear "Starting Succeeded", then, try to say one/two/three. NEED CoHelper.ahk.

SVGMath is written in pure Python, with neither extension modules nor external dependencies. It runs on any platform where a modern Python environment (version 2.4 or higher) is available. It can be used either as a command-line script for batch-mode file conversion, or as a component to process MathML data in other Python applications.

he most popular cryptographic software for Windows is probably TrueCrypt. In this article I will explain how TrueCrypt works and as a by-product a working Python implementation will be provided. This article is written from a programmer perspective and the math will be kept to the minimum. The emphasis is on how TrueCrypt uses cryptographic primitives such as AES and SHA-1, not how the primitives themselves work.

PyScripter is a free and open-source Python Integrated Development Environment (IDE) created with the ambition to become competitive in functionality with commercial Windows-based IDEs available for other languages. Being built in a compiled language is rather snappier than some of the other Python IDEs and provides an extensive blend of features that make it a productive Python development environment.
