[ANN] Data Plotting Library Dislin 10.2

[Helmut Michels]

Dear Python programmers,

I am pleased to announce version 10.2 of the data plotting software
Dislin.

Dislin is a high-level and easy to use plotting library for
displaying data as curves, bar graphs, pie charts, 3D-colour plots,
surfaces, contours and maps. Several output formats are supported
such as X11, VGA, OpenGL, PostScript, PDF, CGM, WMF, HPGL, TIFF, GIF,
PNG, BMP and SVG.

The software is available for the most C, Fortran 77 and Fortran 90/95
compilers. Plotting extensions for the interpreting languages Perl,
Python and Java are also supported.

Dislin is available from the site

http://www.dislin.de

and via FTP from the server

ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/grafik/dislin

All Dislin distributions are free for non-commercial use. Licenses
for commercial use are available from http://www.dislin.de.

Ya, but apparently no source unless you dig deep into your pockets.
Really, why would we need this when we already have gnuplot?
Just wondering...

Dislin is a very nice plotting library for scientific data,
particularly for scientists and engineers using Fortran (which,
incidentally, is quite a few).

For Python, we have Matplotlib as well (at least for 2D plots).

I released json_diff 0.9.2.
http://pypi.python.org/pypi/json_diff

json_diff is an utility comparing two JSON files and generating diff in
form of another JSON file with differences for each level of the object
in a dict

{
"_append": {},
"_remove": {},
"_update": {}
}

This is the first public release, working my way towards 1.0 release.

Development repository is at https://gitorious.org/json_diff, patches
and pull requests welcome!

Basically, the only “intuitive†interface is the nipple. After
that, it's all learned.
