SPYCE is a server-side language that supports simple and efficient Python-based dynamic HTML generation, otherwise called Python Server Pages (PSP).

Those who are familiar with JSP, PHP, or ASP and like Python, should have a look at Spyce. Its modular design makes it very flexible and extensible. Spyce - Python Server Pages can also be used as a command-line utility for static text pre-processing or as a web-server proxy.

The supported adapters are:

* Fast CGI:The default Spyce integration with Apache is acheived via FastCGI, a CGI-like interface that is relatively fast, because it does not incur the large process startup overhead on each request.

* mod_python: If you really must have the fastest Spyce implementation (see the performance numbers), it is currently through an Apache module called mod_python. Spyce has been tested with mod_python version 2.7.6 (and version 3.0.3 with apache 2.0.37). You can try to find some mod_python rpms here, but in general one must compile mod_python from sources. The reason for this is because mod_python links with the Python library it finds on your system at compile time. Thus, even if you have the correct Python version installed on your system, mod_python will be using the Python library version on the system where it was compiled. Also, note that mod_python (or rather Apache) needs a Python that has been compiled without threading, so you may need to recompile Python as well for this reason. The process is not very difficult (just the usual: ./configure; make; make install dance), but hopefully someone will suggest a better route in time. In any case, make sure you can first get mod_python running on your system, if that is that is your chosen Apache integration route.

* Web server: Another fast alternative is to serve Spyce files via a proxy. This involves running Spyce in web-server mode, and configuring the main web server to forward the appropriate requests. The built-in Spyce web server can also be used to serve requests directly, but this is highly discouraged for production environments.

* CGI: Failing these alternatives you can always process requests via regular CGI, but this alternative is the slowest option and is intended primarily for those who do not have much control over their web environments.

* Command line: Lastly, one can use Spyce as a command-line tool for pre-processing Spyce pages and creating static HTML files.

amarokVis is a KDE applet for libvisual using opengl.

Orginally written to work with amaroks libvisual socket however due to some limitations I just made the input default to alsa.

So any app piping sound through alsa will make the visuals dance. I was going to change the name but meh, not a big deal.

Usage:

Just add it to a panel and watch the fun. If you click the visualization itll bring up a popup box to select from available plugins.

Pretty simple and straightforward.

Beware though some plugins(actors) tend to be buggy and are likely to crash your kicker.

If that happens just restart your kicker and choose another plugin that doesnt.

NNTPCache is a proxy cache newsgroups.

NNTPCache (efficiently) executes on the localhost pretending to be an NNRP news reading server. In fact, what it does is pass certain NNTP commands through to real (remote and possibly local) news-servers based on various pattern matching rules.

NNTPCache then takes the output from those servers and caches & indexes it in funky ways (much case specific magic goes into this). The next time such information is asked for, or other information which can be logically inferred from the previously collated information, it is sent directly from the cache, without consulting the remote servers.

NNTPCache can transparently merge local newsgroups & multiple remote feeds (usually handled by INN) with remote NNRPD and NNTPCache servers to create mind-bogglingly large "virtual" newsfeeds, without having to negotiate for standard feeds or allocating anything like bandwidth or drive space normally required (normally around 3-10G/day).

NNTPCache is an obsessive SPAM killer. NNTPCache has full support for cryptographically signed NoCem messages, and if enabled, actively monitors news.lists.filters and alt.nocem.misc for NoCem SPAM advisories. Tagged SPAM message IDs are then transparently filtered from NNTPCache traffic.

NNTPCache can also act selectively as an intelligent chrooted firewall NNTP application proxy and supports full RFC931/ident, source address and newsgroup access controls with quite a reasonable degree of granularity.

NNTPCache saves IMMENSE amounts of bandwidth (we were quite astounded to see just how much bandwidth news uses - on our network, news accounted for more IP traffic than everything else combined (though were not sure if this says more about the authors proclivities or network traffic statistics in general.

NNTPCache also saves truly huge amounts of drive space (if you are talking about a full feed - as of writing thats around 3 - 10Gb a day). With NNTPCache, startup times for news readers become limited only by the speed of the internal network (or the loopback device if the readers are run on the same machine as NNTPCache). It is possible to run several NNTPCacheds on different machines - indeed with larger sites, this practice is recommended; even intranets can become clogged with news traffic.

NNTPCache tries very hard to look like nnrpd, so there shouldnt be any reason why the remote servers that NNTPCache is directed to feed from can not be other NNTPCaches themselves.

NNTPCache performs sophisticated filtering based on weighted extended regular expression pattern matching against article headers and content on a per-user, per-group, per-host (etc) basis (so the filters only effect particular user groups, not the entire population). This can be used (for instance) as a kind of Usenet "net-nanny" or to transparently remove usenet SPAM (and probably a few not so nice uses as well, like political censorship. Sadly to say though, after introducting this feature we have had not had one iota thanks from neo-corporate east-asian totalitarian capitalist running dogs). ).

NNTPCache tries very hard to emulate remote article numbering. This means that NNTPCache can be "dropped" in into an nntp network without interrupting (at the news level) the flow/ordering of articles. In the same manner, it can be transparently "plucked" from the network in the same way should it not prove to be as sexy as a sweet, ripe, red persimmon (well, its unlikely, but you never know.

NNTPCache caches the active, active.times, newsgroups and overview.fmt files, article, head, body, stat, group, listgroup, newgroups, newgroups, xgtitle, xover and xhdr commands. NNTPCache cross-posts seeds its cache and also maintains a database of message-id -> group/article_number tuples. This is just about everything.

NNTPCache has been designed to be quite efficient, in order to serve very large reader populations. It takes full advantage of copy-on-write OS design, shared memory and mmaped files/memory/anonymous regions.

NNTPCache has a built in web-server and macro language - ostensibly for displaying NNTPCache statistical information, but the depraved or security retentive (ok, ok, AND) could use it for other diversions.

Alleged to autoconfigure, compile and run, dance and make walnut milkshakes on a wide number of unix platforms. But not NT (of course!).

O.H.R.RPG.C.E is an engine for making 2D console-style Role Playing Games.

A Linux port of the DOS-based "Official Hamster Republic RPG Construction Engine". Used for making games similar in style to the NES and Super Nintendo Final Fantasy games. A large assortment of RPG games are already available.

XPN - X Python Newsreader project is a graphical newsreader written in Python with the GTK+ toolkit. I started writing it because I was learning Python language and working on a real project keeps your attention high.
XPN is distributed with the GPL licence, youll found a copy of the licence inside the XPN archive.
An interesting characteristic of XPN is the complete portability. I use it a lot on Linux and Windows, however XPN should work wherever Python and GTK+2 work.
With XPN you can read/write articles on the Usenet with a good MIME support (better than some well known newsreaders).
XPN can operate with all the most diffuse charset starting from US-ASCII to UTF-8. When you edit an article XPN automatically chooses the best charset, however is always possible to override this choice.
There also other useful features like scoring, filtered views, random tag-lines, external editor support, one-key navigation, ROT13, spoiler char ...
Main features:
On-Line/Off-Line Mode
- XPN has been for a long time an on-line only newsreader, now its changed. Starting from 0.2.5 I added the read articles storing, and starting from 0.4.0 you are able to download the whole bodies with the headers, or to mark for retrieval some articles and then download their bodies.
- Note that the download is a bit slow because I havent yet optimized this code, so the better way to use XPN is still with a local news-server, or if you have a DSL connection, directly online.
MIME Standards
- With XPN you can read articles coded with quoted-printable, 7bit or 8bit. XPN is also full UTF-8 compliant, you can read and send aritcles with the UTF-8 charset.
- Outgoing articles are coded with the best charset, however you can always override this choice.
Scoring
- Its possible to create scoring rules (like the Hamsters ones but simpler) in order to assign a score to articles. This rule can act on this fields: From, Subject, Date, Message-ID, References, Age, Xpost, Xref, Bytes and Lines
- You may also create action rules. These rules trigger an action to be applied on to the article. Possible actions are !kill (delete the article), !markread, !watch, !ignore and so on.
- Action rules act on the same fields listed above plus a new field named Score, in fact action rules are always applied after scoring rules.
Multiple Layouts
- Ther three different possible layouts for the main window. Probably in the future I will add more of them. You can also zoom one of the tree panes.
Colors
- Articles are shown with different colors for text, quoted text and signs. You can change this colors.
Random TagLines
- Its possible to automatically add a random tagline in your articles. TagLines are picked from a textfile that you can customize.
X-Face::
- Starting from 0.4.5 XPN support decoding of the X-Face and Face headers. Thanks to Andrew Taylor (author of a Javascript implementation of uncompface) for helping me in translating its module.
Internationalization
- Starting from 0.4.5 release XPN supports multiple languages. I use gettext (thank to Guillame Bedot) in order to mark and extract text string from the code
- If you want to translate XPN in your language just get the original strings file (xpn.pot), youll find it inside lang directory. Translate it with a translation software like GTranslator, KBabel or POEdit and send me the result. Please use UTF-8 as you charset.
