File: mxDTmP20.zip (141kB)
Desc: Windows binary included. mxDateTime 1.3.0 for Python 2.0 Generic
      Date/Time Types mxDateTime is an extension package that provides three
      new object types, DateTime, DateTimeDelta and RelativeDateTime, which
      let you store and handle date/time values in a more natural way than
      by using ticks (seconds since 1.1.70 0:00 UTC; the encoding used by
      the time module). You can add, subtract and even multiply instances,
      pickle and copy them and convert the results to strings, COM dates,
      ticks and some other more esoteric values. In addition, there are
      several convenient constructors and formatters at hand to greatly
      simplify dealing with dates and times in real-world applications. Also
      exports a comfortable C API interface for other extensions to build
      upon. This is especially interesting for database applications which
      often have to deal with date/time values (the mxODBC package is one
      example of an extension using this interface).

File: mxODBC15.zip (722kB)
Desc: Windows binary included. mxODBC 1.1.1 for Python 1.5.2 Generic ODBC
      2.0 interface provides a Python Database API compliant interface to
      ODBC 2.0 capable database drivers and managers. Also gives access to
      catalog methods which allow you to scan the database for tables,
      procedures, etc. Also uses the mxDateTime package for date/time value
      interfacing eliminating most of the problems these types normally
      introduce. Allows you to interface to more than one database from one
      process. It includes a varity of preconfigured setups for many
      commonly used databases such as MySQL, Oracle, Informix, Solid and
      many more. Also includes precompiled ver. for the Win ODBC manager.

Desc: Windows binary included. mxTools 1.0.0 for Python 1.5.2 Collection of
      Additional Builtins mxTools is an extension package that includes a
      collection of handy functions and objects giving additional
      functionality in form of new builtins to the Python programmer. The
      package auto-installs the new functions and objects as builtins upon
      first import. This means that they become instantely available to all
      other modules without any further action on your part. Add the line
      import NewBuiltins to your site.py script and they will be available
      to all users at your site as if they were installed in the Python
      interpreter itself.

File: mxPrxP15.zip (38kB)
Desc: Windows binary included. mxProxy 0.2.0 for Python 1.5.2 Generic Proxy
      Wrapper Type mxProxy is an extension package that provides a new type
      that is suitable to implement Bastion like features without the need
      to use restricted execution environments. The type's main features are
      secure data encapsulation (the hidden objects are not accessible from
      Python since they are stored in internal C structures), customizable
      attribute lookup methods and a cleanup protocol that helps in breaking
      circular references prior to object deletion. The latest version adds
      a very interesting new feature: weak references which help you work
      with circular references in a way that doesn't cause memory leakage in
      a Python system.

File: mxCrpt01.zip (228kB)
Desc: Windows binary included. mxCrypto 0.1.1 for Python 1.5.2/2.0 Interface
      to Eric Young's SSLeay/OpenSSL mxCrypto is an extension package that
      provides OO-style access to the cipher algorithms and hash functions
      included in SSLeay, a very nifty cryptographic lib written by Eric
      Young now maintained by the OpenSSL team. Apart from being usable
      stand-alone, it provides hooks that make it work as high quality
      fill-in for the missing parts in Andrew Kuchling's pycrypt export
      package. Due to the ITAR export restrictions on cryptographic software
      Andrew's implementations are not legally downloadable from outside the
      US. SSLeay/OpenSSL is available world-wide.

File: mxStkP15.zip (33kB)
Desc: Windows binary included. mxStack 0.3.0 for Python 1.5.2 Fast and
      Memory-Efficient Stack Type mxStack is an extension package that
      provides a new object type called Stack. It works much like what you
      would expect from such a type, having .push() and .pop() methods and
      focusses on obtaining maximum speed at low memory costs.

Desc: Windows binary included. mxTextTools 1.1.1 for Python 1.5.2 Fast Text
      Processing Tools is an extension package for Python that provides
      several useful functions and types that implement high-performance
      text manipulation and searching algorithms in addition to a very
      flexible and extendable state machine, the Tagging Engine, that allows
      scanning and processing text based on low-level byte-code "programs"
      written using Python tuples. It gives you access to the speed of C
      without the need to do any compile and link steps every time you
      change the parsing description. Applications include parsing
      structured text, finding and extracting text (either exact or using
      translation tables) and recombining strings to form new text.
