 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.

 File: mxTlP152.zip (80kB)
 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.

 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.
