Python Projects

• DMprofile 0.1 is a tiny Python package defining an extension of Python's "pstats.Stats" class for profile analysis. It supports the analysis of functions matched by a re gular expression, which facilitates especially caller and callee analysis.
  Note: This is now maintained on PyPi as dm.profile.
• DMpdb 0.1 is a tiny Python package with improvements and extensions for "pdb", Pythons built-in debugger:
  • the 'where' command gets optional arguments 'number' and 'end' to control the amount of entries printed;
    its output is made more readable;
    by defining the method 'getAdditionalFrameInfo', a derived class can show additional debugging info.
  • the 'do_break' command can now be used from outside the debugger to define breakpoints
  • the new 'frame' command allows to directly switch to an interesting frame
  The package also defines the module "Zpdb" providing a debugger class that understands Zope's additional debugging info ('__traceback_info__' and '__traceback_supplement__').
  Note: This is now maintained on PyPi as dm.pdb.
• packageresources 0.1 is a Python package for standard access to package related resources (e.g. configuration files, package related data, presentation templates, ...). Such a standard access is essential for applications running from a zip archive or as a frozen application.
  packageresources defines a new URL scheme (see RFC 2396), the 'pypackage' scheme, used to designate package resources and a set of functions to access such resources. It also provides a function to patch Python's standard library such that 'pypackage' URLs are handled transparently. The current implementation supports packages in the filesystem or in a zip archive and frozen packages. It has been tested on *nix and Windows (XP). Not everything may work for installations using the macpath module (i.e. older Macintoshs).
  Read doc.rst in the tarball, for details.
• Dllimporter is a (small) package to facilitate the import of shared libraries (aka dlls or extension modules) for Python applications running from a zip archive or an executable (a frozen application). For more information, please see the package docstring.
• Analysing where you are This tiny module defines the function where. It returns information about the sequence of calls leading to the calling function in the form of a sequence of tuples (function,file,lineno). Usually, you use a debugger to obtain this information. But there are cases, where a debugger is difficult to use. Please see the function's docstring for more information.
  You can now use the "interpreter stack" functions of Python's inspect module. module.
• PyAudioCD for Linux a Python module to control an audio CD player. Python's standard library now contains similar functionality.
• TreeWidget a Python MegaWidget able to display a (dynamically changable) tree structure as an interactive hierarchical content table
• PyXPath PyDOM based implementation of the XPath July, 9th, 1999 working draft
• WeakDicts: addressing CPython's problems with cyclic references Since Python 2.1, Python's standard library contains more general weak reference functionality.
• addContentTable to HTML documents
• XSL-Pattern PyDOM based implementation of the XSL Working Draft pattern sublanguage
