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. 

PyCHM - Python bindings for CHMLIB PyCHM is a package that provides bindings for Jed Wing's CHMLIB library. The chm package contains four modules, namely chm.chm, chm.chmlib, chm.extra and chm._chmlib. chm.chmlib is a low level wrapper module around the API provided by the C library chmlib. Quoted from Jed's README: chmlib is a small library designed for accessing MS ITSS files. The ITSS file format is used for Microsoft Html Help files (.chm), which have been the predominant medium for software documentation from Microsoft during the past several years, having superceded the previously used .hlp file format. chm.chm provides some high level functionality over chm.chmlib, such as access to the .chm file contents tree. chm.extra contains extra functionality to allow detection encodings in the CHM archives and to support full-text search.

Objects that represent potential behavior (functions and methods) can be invoked, or called. We can test an object's callability with the callable() function:

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.

I love python for its beautiful code and practicality. But it’s not going to win a pure speed race with most languages. Most people think of speed and ease-of-use as polar opposites - probably because they remember the pain of writing C. Cython tries to eliminate that duality and lets you have python syntax with C data types and functions - the best of both worlds. Keeping in mind that I’m by no means an expert at this, here are my notes based on my first real experiment with Cython:

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.)

I wrote dbtxt because I needed a small, flat database in a python environment that didn't depend upon any external libraries. Most libraries are contaminated with the GPL, and this needed to be OK for commercial distribution without any complications. So that's what we have here - a complete (though small) database system that depends on nothing at all other than the Python language and its internal libraries. The entire database comes in at about 20k bytes (that's right, "k", not hundreds of k or megabytes) and I was able to implement all the functions I needed. So I was happy. Will you be happy? Well, download it and read the docs and see what you think. The download, zipped, is about 13k. Yep. 13k. :-) By all means, if you have a need for the same kind of thing, feel free to make any use of dbtxt you please. I have released it as PD, so you can use it in projects that are commercial, GPL, BSD, PD, private, government... whatever you like. Below you'll find a basic description taken from beginning of the docs; in the archive you'll download there is complete documentation, two sample databases, a test program and the database engine itself.

[IPython-user] ipython1 and farm tasking Brian Granger ellisonbg.net@gmail....

We are about to push out a major new version and the documentation is _much_ better. Also, there are many new features that will hopefully help you. Here is a simple example (using the latest svn of ipython1): In [1]: from ipython1.kernel import client In [2]: mec = client.MultiEngineClient(('127.0.0.1',10105)) In [3]: tc = client.TaskClient(('127.0.0.1',10113)) In [4]: def fold_package(x): ...: return 2.0*x ...: In [5]: mec.push_function(dict(fold_package=fold_package)) Out[5]: [None, None, None, None] In [6]: tasks = [client.Task("y=fold_package(x)",push={'x':x},pull=('y',)) for x in range(128)] In [7]: task_ids = [tc.run(t) for t in tasks] In [8]: tc.barrier(task_ids) In [9]: task_results = [tc.get_task_result(tid) for tid in task_ids] In [10]: results = [tr.ns.y for tr in task_results] In [11]: print results [0.0, 2.0, 4.0, 6.0, 8.0, 10.0, 12.0, 14.0, 16.0, 18.0, 20.0, 22.0, 24.0, 26.0, 28.0, 30.0, 32.0, 34.0, 36.0, 38.0, 40.0, 42.0, 44.0, 46.0, 48.0, 50.0, 52.0, 54.0, 56.0, 58.0, 60.0, 62.0, 64.0, 66.0, 68.0, 70.0, 72.0, 74.0, 76.0, 78.0, 80.0, 82.0, 84.0, 86.0, 88.0, 90.0, 92.0, 94.0, 96.0, 98.0, 100.0, 102.0, 104.0, 106.0, 108.0, 110.0, 112.0, 114.0, 116.0, 118.0, 120.0, 122.0, 124.0, 126.0, 128.0, 130.0, 132.0, 134.0, 136.0, 138.0, 140.0, 142.0, 144.0, 146.0, 148.0, 150.0, 152.0, 154.0, 156.0, 158.0, 160.0, 162.0, 164.0, 166.0, 168.0, 170.0, 172.0, 174.0, 176.0, 178.0, 180.0, 182.0, 184.0, 186.0, 188.0, 190.0, 192.0, 194.0, 196.0, 198.0, 200.0, 202.0, 204.0, 206.0, 208.0, 210.0, 212.0, 214.0, 216.0, 218.0, 220.0, 222.0, 224.0, 226.0, 228.0, 230.0, 232.0, 234.0, 236.0, 238.0, 240.0, 242.0, 244.0, 246.0, 248.0, 250.0, 252.0, 254.0] Or if you don't need load balancing: # This sends the fold_package function for you! results = mec.map(fold_package, range(128)) Let us know if you run into other problems. Cheers, Brian

SendKeys is a Python module for Windows (R) which can be used to send one or more keystrokes or keystroke combinations to the active window. SendKeys exports 1 function, SendKeys, and 1 exception, KeySe

A 'Mathematica Notebook' styled interface to Python from within TeXmacs. Blocks of code can be run independently of their order, and full multiline blocks, i.e. function remain visible and easily modifiable.

This is something I always forget how to do, and it's kind of hard to Google or search the Python docs because you can't search for **.The point is, when using **kwargs, you have to use the ** prefix not only in the function definition, but also in the call, prefixed to the variable you want to use as a keyword dictionary.
