A small utility package that depends on tools too recent for Twisted (like datetime in python2.4) but performs generic enough functions that it can be used in projects that don't want to share Divmod's other projects' large footprint. Currently included: * A powerful date/time formatting and import/export class (ExtimeDotTime), for exchanging date and time information between all Python's various ways to interpret objects as times or time deltas. * Tools for managing concurrent asynchronous processes within Twisted. * A metaclass which helps you define classes with explicit states. * A featureful Version class. * A formal system for application of monkey-patches.

The pysvn module is a python interface to the Subversion version control system. This API exposes client interfaces for managing a working copy, querying a repository, and synchronizing the two. This API cannot create new repositories; it can only interact with existing repositories. If you need to create a repository, use the svnadmin command from Subversion. Using the API, you can check out a working copy, add, edit, and remove working files, and check in, compare, or discard your changes. Repository properties such as keyword expansion, end of line characters, and ignore lists can also be examined and manipulated.

Freedroid is a clone of the game "Paradroid" which was released on Commodore 64 in 1985. In this game, you control a robot located within an interstellar spaceship consisting of several decks connected by elevators. The aim of the game is to destroy all enemy robots by either shooting them or seizing control over them by creating connections in a short subgame of electric circuits. The graphics are designed to be a fairly faithful reproduction of the original game, but a modern set of tiles is also available.

GALAXIS for UNIX Lifeboats from a crippled interstellar liner are adrift in a starfield. To find them, you can place probes that look in all eight compass directions and tell you how many lifeboats they see. If you drop a probe directly on a lifeboat it will be revealed immediately. Your objective: find the lifeboats as quickly as possible, before the stranded passengers run out of oxygen! This is a UNIX-hosted, curses-based clone of the nifty little Macintosh freeware game Galaxis. It doesn't have the super-simple, point-and-click interface of the original, but compensates by automating away some of the game's simpler deductions.

gturing is a simple turing machine simulator with graphical interface. A Turing machine is the simplest possible computing device which can only perform very simple operations. However, almost everything in programming languages can be written as a program for the Turing machine. Of course, no one uses the Turing machine for actual computing work, but it is very useful in theoretical computer science and mathematical logic. It's a nice complement for students who likes to practice with theory and a nice toy to play with. gpoo@ubiobio.cl

Gone is a utility that locks a terminal with a password chosen by the user. Gone will prompt the user for a password (unless the -p option is given, then gone will use the system password), then print the gone banner, then drop into the gone shell. From this shell, only a restricted set of commands can be run. Gone will also disallow messages by removing permissions on the parent tty. After the timeout period (10 minutes by default), gone will automatically log the user out. -Joe marcus@marcuscom.com

Logsurfer is a program for monitoring system logs in real-time, and reporting on the occurrence of events. It is similar to the well-known swatch program on which it is based, but offers a number of advanced features which swatch does not support. Logsurfer is capable of grouping related log entries together - for instance, when a system boots it usually creates a high number of log messages. In this case, logsurfer can be setup to group boot-time messages together and forward them in a single Email message to the system administrator under the subject line "Host xxx has just booted". Swatch just couldn't do this properly.

DGD is a rewrite from scratch of the LPMud server. It runs on Windows, MacOS, BeOS and many versions of Unix. This is the core distribution of DGD, providing all the tools needed to implement interactive servers, for instance MUD, IRC, WWW, etc. A reference implementation of a kernel library is provided, which can be further built on. Normally with DGD, there is a kernel library to define the programming environment and a database library to define the interaction environment. Please report bugs to <felix@dworkin.nl>.

gwhois is a generic whois client. It strives to know for all existing tlds and all ip address range the appropiate whois server to ask. You can simple call gwhois with a query for some domain or some ip and it will ask the right server for you! It can even query webforms which are unfortunately the only query type supported by many bad nics. gwhois can also be used as a whois server. You can call it from the inetd and make it accessable via a normal standard whois client. This allows for example using a Windows client and still make use of the enhanced features of gwhois.

The vblade is the virtual EtherDrive (R) blade, a program that makes a seekable file available over an ethernet local area network (LAN) via the ATA over Ethernet (AoE) protocol. The seekable file is typically a block device like /dev/md0 but even regular files will work. Sparse files can be especially convenient. When vblade exports the block storage over AoE it becomes a storage target. Another host on the same LAN can access the storage if it has a compatible aoe kernel driver.
