Almost lost in a sea of messages about programming in the dark ages, we find some gems in this week's Python universe
- g.j. andruk (a.k.a. Meow) releases a module to speed up reading from files, using some of Rich $alz's INN code. Expect 2x-5x speedup on standard line-at-a-time usage http://members.xoom.com/meowing/python/
- An interesting discussion on the topic of making translatable strings emerges. Thread starts at (see DN525858204)
- Christian Tismer makes a binary installer of the XML-SIG package for Windows users (see DN526763176)
- BioPython.org is announced: an effort devoted to facilitating and promoting the use of Python in bioinformatics http://www.biopython.org
- Damien Norton provides generic code to deal with the pesky problem of timeouts on sockets without using select() (see DN526840052)
- Paul Dubois announces version 2 of PyFort, a tool to interface Python and Fortran. http://xfiles.llnl.gov/python.htm
- Reminder: The Python Conference is accepting paper submissions until the end of the month (with special interest in Zope and finance expressed from various quarters): http://www.python.org/workshops/2000-01/cfp.html (see DN525600398)
