[PD-announce] py/pyext 0.1.3 - python script objects

[Thomas Grill]

Hi all,
as a fruit from the latest sound installation here's a new version of the
python externals.
It has some new features, like

- introduced shortcut "pyx" for pyext.
- arguments to the pyext class are now exposed as attributes "args"
- inlet and outlet count can be given as creation arguments for pyext,
python _inlet and _outlet members are ignored then
- parameters to Python functions are treated as integers when they can be.

and quite a number of bugs fixed, like

- class variables are now set atomic if parameter list has only 1 element
- crash if script or class names are non-strings
- long multi-line doc strings are now printed correctly
- message "doc+" for class/instance __doc__ now working
- improved/debugged handling of reference counts
- _pyext._send will now send anythings if feasible
- fixed some bad threading behavior

In general it should be much more stable. Python threading is still not
supported - that will follow in a later release.

Download as usual from: http://grrrr.org/ext
and have fun with it

best greetings,
Thomas
