Durus is a persistent object system for applications written in
the Python programming language.
Durus offers an easy way to use and maintain a consistent collection
of object instances used by one or more processes. Access and change
of a persistent instances is managed through a cached Connection
instance which includes commit() and abort() methods so that changes
are transactional. Durus is best suited to collections of less than a
million instances with relatively stable state.
rlock creates NFS safe lockfiles. it can optionally run a program while holding
the lock, ensuring lockfile removal on program exit. if a program is specified
to be run rlock will spawn a background thread to kept the lockfile 'fresh' by
touching it at a regular interval. in this way a lease is maintained on the
lockfile and other processes attempting to obtain the lock can determine that it
is in use.
This module allows you to get the public suffix of a domain name using
the Public Suffix List from http://publicsuffix.org
A public suffix is one under which Internet users can directly register names.
Some examples of public suffixes are .com, .co.uk and pvt.k12.wy.us.
Accurately knowing the public suffix of a domain is useful when handling web
browser cookies, highlighting the most important part of a domain name in a
user interface or sorting URLs by web site
Afternoonstalker is a clone of the Intellivision game Night Stalker.
You are in a two-dimensional maze in which you are attacked by robots
that shoot at you and that you must shoot down. You must pick up a gun
somewhere in the maze in order to have a few bullets to shoot. Avoid
the spiders and the bats, which can paralyze you long enough for a
robot to come and shoot you. The bunker in the center is your only
protection.
Frogatto is a "platformer", or "jump-and-run" videogame. Like many classic
games, the world is viewed as a cross-section seen from the side, and your
character walks and jumps between solid platforms, whilst avoiding monsters.
Frogatto is not a clone of any specific game; although, being a platformer,
it is impossible not to have something in common with titles like Mario or
Sonic, but authors are trying to innovate a bit.
Frogatto is also the protagonist's name. It's eponymous.
This plays a competent beginner's game of Go (the development line has
achieved a rating of 17 kyu on the No Name Go Server, nngs.cosmic.org 9696),
and operates both in plain ASCII and using the Go Modem Protocol.
For a nice graphical interface, cgoban's Go Modem feature can operate as a
front-end for gnugo (cgoban is available as a port/package).

Phlipple is a unique puzzle game. The goal of every level is to
reduce a 3D shape to a single square. Elimination of squares is
done by flipping edges around just like in a cardboard box.
It starts off relatively easy to teach the basics just to later on
serve hours of brain tickling fun. It's a great way to train memory
as well as orientation in 3D.

OptiPNG is a PNG optimizer that recompresses image files to a smaller
size, without losing any information. This program also converts
external formats (BMP, GIF, PNM; TIFF support is coming up) to optimized
PNG, and performs PNG integrity checks and corrections.
The idea has been inspired from pngcrush, and is explained in detail in
the PNG-Tech article "A guide to PNG optimization". The implementation
is carried forward in OptiPNG, which offers a faster execution per
trial, and a wider search space.
