HTMLgen is a class library for the generation of HTML documents with Python scripts. It's used when you want to create HTML pages containing information which changes from time to time. For example you might want to have a page which provides an overall system summary of data collected nightly. Or maybe you have a catalog of data and images that you would like formed into a spiffy set of web pages for the world to browse. Python is a great scripting language for these tasks and with HTMLgen it's very straightforward to construct objects which are rendered into consistently structured web pages. Of course, CGI scripts written in Python can take advantage of these classes as well.

Tclwebtest is a tool to write automated tests for web applications. It provides a simple API for issuing http requests, dealing with the result and assume specific response values, while taking care of the details such as redirects and cookies. It has some basic html parsing functionality, to provide access to elements of the result html page that are needed for testing. TclWebtest should be suitable for testing larger chains of user interaction on a web application, for example a full ecommerce ordering session. Tclwebtest could visit an ecommerce site as anonymous user, add some products to its shopping cart, check out the cart, register itself as user and enter a test address etc. The test script could also include the administration part of the interaction, by explicitely logging in as site admin, reviewing and processing the order, nuking the test user etc.

Turn tabs of your choice into permanent tabs. PermaTabs can't be closed accidentally no matter what you click (even actions like "Close other tabs" will not affect them) and will stick around between sessions. Ideal for keeping URLs you use often, always one tab away. Also, ideal for picking up specific articles where you left off during a previous session. From first installation PermaTabs includes three random sample tabs (from a built in list) to get you started. Maybe you'll discover a useful site you never knew about? Adding or removing a permatab is simple - right click a site's tab, and check/uncheck "Permanent Tab". Must read: one of the default permatabs installed on first installation is an affiliate URL to eBay.com. You can of course remove this and the other sample permatabs, and create your own (which is the whole idea).

Torbutton is a 1-click way to enable or disable the use of Tor. It adds a panel to the statusbar that says "Tor Enabled" (in green) or "Tor Disabled" (in red). The user may click on the panel to toggle the status. If the user (or some other extension) changes the proxy settings, the change is automatically reflected in the statusbar. Some users may prefer a toolbar button instead of a statusbar panel. Such a button is included, and one adds it to the toolbar by right-clicking on the desired toolbar, selecting "Customize...", and then dragging the Torbutton icon onto the toolbar. There is an option in the preferences to hide the statusbar panel (Tools->Extensions, select Torbutton, and click on Preferences). Newer Firefox versions have the ability to send DNS resolves through the socks proxy, and Torbutton will make use of this feature if it is available.

bdfresize - a tool for resizing BDF format font Bdfresize is a command to magnify or reduce fonts which are described with the standard BDF format. If bdf-file is not specified, it reads from stdin. Bdfresize outputs the result to stdout in BDF format. Some COMMENT lines are inserted to the result font. FONT name is modified depending on the resize factor if the name is described in XLFD format. SIZE, FONTBOUNDINGBIX, SWIDTH, DWIDTH, BBX and some property lines are also modified. Other lines are copied from source. If a syntax error occurs in a source font, bdfresize notices it and stops the whole process. Bdfresize is a free software under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public License version 2. See the COPYING file for details. Hiroto Kagotani <kagotani@cs.titech.ac.jp> made the original version (1.4).

Gtk2 has a powerful, but complex MVC (Model, View, Controller) system used to implement list and tree widgets. Gtk2::Ex::Simple::List automates the complex setup work and allows you to treat the list model as a more natural list of lists structure. After creating a new Gtk2::Ex::Simple::List object with the desired columns you may set the list data with a simple Perl array assignment. Rows may be added or deleted with all of the normal array operations. You can treat the data member of the Simple::List object as an array reference, and manipulate the list data with perl's normal array operators. A mechanism has also been put into place allowing columns to be Perl scalars. The scalar is converted to text through Perl's normal mechanisms and then displayed in the list. This same mechanism can be expanded by defining arbitrary new column types before calling the new function.

Prima is an extensible Perl toolkit for multi-platform GUI development. Platforms supported include Linux, Windows NT/9x/2K, OS/2 and UNIX/X11 workstations ( FreeBSD, IRIX, SunOS, Solaris and others). The toolkit contains a rich set of standard widgets and has emphasis on 2D image processing tasks. A Perl program using PRIMA looks and behaves identically on X, Win32 and OS/2 PM. The toolkit includes a visual builder ( VB ) and a graphic pod viewer utility ( podview ). The examples are installed into perl site in Prima/examples directory. A 'hello world' code is as simple as follows: use Prima qw(Application Buttons); Prima::Window-> create( text => 'Hello world!', size => [ 200, 200], )-> insert( Button => centered => 1, text => 'Hello world!', onClick => sub { $::application-> close }, ); run Prima;

The purpose of keyboardcast is to allow you to send keystrokes to multiple X windows at once. This allows you, for example, to control a number of terminals connected to different but similar hosts for purposes of mass- administration. You can also select non-terminals. If you come up with a reasonable use for this ability I'd be interested in hearing about it. The program can select windows to send to either by matching their titles (using a substring) or by clicking on them (in a method similar to GIMP's screenshot feature). The program also features the ability to spawn off multiple instances of gnome-terminal executing a single command on multiple arguments (for example executing 'ssh' on several hosts). The gnome-terminals are invoked with the profile 'keyboardcast' if it exists (so, for example, your font size can be smaller).

Class to transparently deal with the conversion between filters, wavelength, frequency and other methods of specifying a location in the electro-magentic spectrum. Astro::WaveBand tries to determine the natural form of the numbers such that a request for a summary of the object when it contains 2.2 microns would return the filter name but would return the wavelength if it was not a standard filter. In ambiguous cases an instrument name is required to decide what to return. In really ambiguous cases the user can specify the unit in which to display the numbers on stringification. Used mainly as a way of storing a single number in a database table but using logic to determine the number that an observer is most likely to understand. Numerical comparison operators can be used to compare two Astro::WaveBand objects. When checking equality, the "natural" and "instrument" methods are used, so if two Astro::WaveBand objects return the same value from those methods, they are considered to be equal. When checking other comparisons such as greater than, the wavelength is used.

WavPack is a completely open audio compression format providing lossless, high-quality lossy, and a unique hybrid compression mode. Although the technology is loosely based on previous versions of WavPack, the new version 4 format has been designed from the ground up to offer unparalleled performance and functionality. In the default lossless mode WavPack acts just like a WinZip compressor for audio files. However, unlike MP3 or WMA encoding which can affect the sound quality, not a single bit of the original information is lost, so there's no chance of degradation. This makes lossless mode ideal for archiving audio material or any other situation where quality is paramount. The compression ratio depends on the source material, but generally is between 30% and 70% (generally lower for typical popular music and somewhat better for classical music and other sources with greater dynamic range). The hybrid mode provides all the advantages of lossless compression with an additional bonus. Instead of creating a single file, this mode creates both a relatively small, high-quality lossy file that can be used all by itself, and a "correction" file that (when combined with the lossy file) provides full lossless restoration. For some users this means never having to choose between lossless and lossy compression!
