[maemo-developers] New release of Python2.5 for Maemo (r0.4-11)

[From: luciano.wolf at indt.org.br]

What a big thread! :)

Well, I apologize the way this release was put to the public. This new 
email/announce follows what Quim Gil have proposed. Thanks!
========================================================


I am pleased to announce Python2.5.1 for Maemo - r0.4-11

This new release is available from:
http://pymaemo.garage.maemo.org

What's it?
----------
Python for Maemo (PyMaemo for short) main objective is to make possible 
to use Python programming language as the scripting and development 
language for Maemo Platform, providing a better alternative for fast 
prototyping and programming in Maemo environment besides the C 
programming language.

Python is for serious programming and to have fun. Python has a nice 
syntax, it's easy to learn and powerful enough for a vast range of 
applications, this is why we choose Python for Maemo.

What's changed?
---------------
Bugfixes:
 - #898 - hildon.gtk_infoprint* don't accept None in 'parent' 
          argument (Luciano Wolf)
 - #904 - Pyosso does not export OssoException (Lauro Moura)
 - #905 - No need to include cdrom and joystick in pygame for maemo 
          (Luciano Wolf)
 - #919 - osso.Application.application_top should accept None as 
          'arguments' parameter (Luciano Wolf)
 - #924 - Export exception types for Python-Osso (Lauro Moura)
 - #929 - Problem on osso.Autosaving: SystemError: NULL object passed to 
          Py_BuildValue (Lauro Moura)
 - #938 - user_data argument in wrong position on the keyword list for 
          osso.Device.set_device_state_callback (Lauro Moura)
 - #942 - Missing '&' passing PyList_Type to Py_Arg_Parse* inside 
          libosso.Mime (Lauro Moura)
 - #947 - h2def.py: Fixed method to parse object definitions 
          (Lauro Moura)
New Modules:
 - osso-help
 - osso-ic
Upgrades:
 - New osso examples (see Documentation link inside PyMaemo webpage)
 - iPython upgraded to v0.8.1 (plus removal of python2.5-dev dependency 
   by Ed Bartosh)

What's planned?
---------------
Next release is planned to have GPS and Address book support. In long 
term we plan to speed up Python using the Python Launcher, improve 
Pluthon (Eclipse 
plugin - http://pluthon.garage.maemo.org) and Easy Hildon 
(Python-based API to ease the development of applications - 
http://easy.garage.maemo.org).

  OK, I got you point now. :-)
