Hello, today I’ve released pyxser-1.4.4r, the publishing message is as follows:

Hello Python Community.

I’m pleased to announce pyxser-1.4.4r, a python extension which contains functions to serialize and deserialize Python Objects into XML. It is a model based serializer. Here is the ChangeLog entry for this release:

Many people know the Model View Controller architectural pattern. Another interesting pattern is Presentation Abstraction Control architectural pattern. We can implement it using Dependency Injection or similar Inversion of Control patterns. So, when we are modeling solutions, we many times leave the control or business logic on the Controller. This will guide us to a very coupled platform. Remember that any well designed architecture claims for cohesion instead of coupling its components. On this article I will try to analyze the use of IoC on the PAC pattern, so we can have more maintainable software components, mainly on n-tier architectures.

How can we measure the software quality? There are many perspectives on that issue of software development. Matthew Wilson has spotted some evaluations that we can follow to improve the quality of our code and bring us a wide perspective on what does matter when we are evaluating the software quality.

Few people is capable to understand the meaning of working in teams. Among other things, on a team we need to set the proper communication channels. My last assignment as employee of a company was Software Architect for a set of projects for a new client on the company. I was in need to do research about the platform where we were working on and I don’t mean the third party pieces, such as language, application server and related stuff, I mean the enterprise application. It was poorly documented, so we need to harvest the code seeking for answers.

I’ve worked on FOSS for years. Currently I have two active projects pyxser and caffeine. Both of them requires a great effort to being completed. Take an overview on their development:

Kontact is my default PIM application. On its configuration we can setup a phone calling program, such as ekiga, skype and others, it just requires a small script, like the one bellow, which I have integrated with KPilot, so I can manage my contacts centered and synchronized.

Dear pyxser users, I’m pleased to announce that I’ve released pyxser-1.4.2r. The current ChangeLog for this release is as follows:

1.4.2r (2010.02.10):

        Daniel Molina Wegener <dmw at coder dot cl>
        * pyxser_collections.c: Added constraint checks for NULL
        pointers removing nested statements.
        * pyxser.c: Removed nested statements.
        * pyxser_tools.c: Added constratints checks for NULL pointers,
        removed nested statements and added strict checking for lists
        since it was crashing with an ambigous list definition that
        can not be handled by PyList_Check().
        * test-utf8.py: Added tests to determine if it continue
        crashing with module serialization.

        Thanks to pyxser users for their feedback.
