This package provides some low-level utilities to use for package development. It currently provides managers for multiple package specific options and registries, vignette, unit test and bibtex related utilities. It serves as a base package for packages like NMF, RcppOctave, doRNG, and as an incubator package for other general purposes utilities, that will eventually be packaged separately. It is still under heavy development and changes in the interface(s) are more than likely to happen.

Tie::Array::Sorted represents an ordinary array, which is kept sorted. All pushes and unshifts cause the elements in question to be inserted in the appropriate location to maintain order. Direct stores ($a[10] = "wibble") effectively splice out the original value and insert the new element. It's not clear why you'd want to use direct stores like that, but this module does the right thing if you do.

This is a parser to replace UBB style tags with their html equivalents. It does not simply do some regex calls, but is complete stack based parse engine. This ensures that all tags are properly nested, if not, extra tags are added to maintain the nesting. This parser should only produce xhtml 1.0 compliant code. All tags are validated and so are all their attributes. It should be easy to extend this parser with your own tags.

The zc.lockfile package provides a basic portable implementation of interprocess locks using lock files. The purpose if not specifically to lock files, but to simply provide locks with an implementation based on file-locking primitives. Of course, these locks could be used to mediate access to other files. For example, the ZODB file storage implementation uses file locks to mediate access to file-storage database files. The database files and lock file files are separate files.

These are a few data structures, classes and functions which we've needed over many years of Python programming and which seem to be of general use to other Python programmers. Many of the modules that have existed in pyutil over the years have subsequently been obsoleted by new features added to the Python language or its standard library, thus showing that we're not alone in wanting tools like these.

Robot Framework is a generic test automation framework for acceptance testing and acceptance test-driven development (ATDD). It has easy-to-use tabular test data syntax and utilizes the keyword-driven testing approach. Its testing capabilities can be extended by test libraries implemented either with Python or Java, and users can create new keywords from existing ones using the same syntax that is used for creating test cases.

This package contains utilities used to package some of STScI's Python projects, specifically those projects that comprise stsci_python and Astrolib. It currently consists mostly of some setup_hook scripts meant for use with distutils2/packaging and/or d2to1, and a customized easy_install command meant for use with distribute. This package is not meant for general consumption, though it might be worth looking at for examples of how to do certain things with your own packages.

Trio is a fully matured and stable set of printf and string functions designed be used by applications with focus on portability or with the need for additional features that are not supported by standard stdio implementation. There are several cases where you may want to consider using trio: 1.Portability across heterogeneous platforms. 2.Embedded systems without stdio support. 3.Extendability of unsupported features. 4.Your native version don't do everything you need.

dnscap is a network capture utility designed specifically for DNS traffic. It normally produces binary data in pcap(3) format, either on standard output or in successive dump files (based on the -w command line option.) This utility is similar to tcpdump(1), but has finer grained packet recognition tailored to DNS transactions and protocol options. dnscap is expected to be used for gathering continuous research or audit traces.

INADYN is a free, multi-platform dynamic DNS update client. It gives the possibility to have your own fixed hostname registered on the Internet, although your IP might be changing. It checks periodically whether the IP address stored by the DNS server is the real current IP address of the machine that is running INADYN. INADYN supports the following dynamic DNS services: - dyndns.org (in all three flavors: dynamic, static, custom) - freedns.afraid.org - no-ip.com - zoneedit.com
