Winpdb 1.4.2 Tychod is available for download at http://winpdb.org/download. The new version is compatible with Python 3.0 rc2. GNU/Linux users, please use the source package. Windows users with Python 2.6 or later, please read the instructions in the download page.
Stani Michiels, the author of Stani’s Python Editor (SPE) who is also an architect and artist won a design contest for a new Dutch commemorative 5 Euro coin. Here is the full story as told by him: http://pythonide.blogspot.com/2008/10/how-to-make-money-with-free-software.html
Stani is also the one who started me working on Winpdb three years ago when he was looking for a debugger for SPE.
Congratulations Stani!
Bolepo is a new and simple PHP framework I have been working on lately. Initially I thought to publish on Monday but I guess it would have been overshadowed by the economy-is-collapsing news, so a weekend might be just perfect after all. I hope someone finds it useful. Maybe it can help stabilize the global economy. In any case, without further ado, here it is: http://bolepo.org
Winpdb 1.4.0 Tychod is available for download. It is now compatible with Python 2.6 and 3.0 beta 2 and the step-into-child-process functionality is working again. The full list of changes is available at the download page.
Did you know that on GNU/Linux Winpdb allows you to magically step into a spawned child process?
Formali, my first JavaScript script ever (well, the first that actually does anything useful) is here. It is a form validation script that works with the Prototype framework.
If you don’t know what Prototype is, head over to their website quick. It is a JavaScript framework that is so cleverly written that it can make a grownup cry. I, at least, have never before seen so many mind boggling anonymous functions crowded into a single file.
Formali came onto this world as I was not able to find a form validation script that did what I wanted, was simple enough to read and use and that was well maintained. It is also possible that I did not search long enough. But my best excuse is that I simply needed the exercise.
It is simple enough so that you may actually consider using (and improving) it instead of being a sinner like me and write your own.

As if the world needed another mailing list, a new Google Group mailing list has been created to which you can post anything related to Winpdb: http://groups.google.com/group/winpdb
Chris Lasher recently migrated his excellent tutorial on Winpdb and debugging in general to the Winpdb Wiki. Thanks Chris!
I have set up an initial Wiki for Winpdb in response to a comment by BobC about collaboration. In addition Winpdb is now published as a Mercurial repository at: winpdb.org/cgi-bin/hgweb.cgi
The Wiki is about development of Winpdb. Now its up to you. Send patches, ideas and good will. Collaborate and make Winpdb better.
