announcing datapkggui v0.2.0
2011-10-24
I think it is already the time for the second public release of datapkggui. None of the previous milestones has been achieved in this release, because I wanted to work on two important aspects first: code cleanup and killing of running operations.
The project is also available on PyPi: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/datapkggui
What is included in this release?
-
Possibility to search for a package in TheDataHub
-
Gathering extended information about a Package and download it from there
-
Download a Package and its resources
-
Clean (=erase) a partially downloaded package if download is not successfull
-
Threaded operations, fluid GUI
-
Operations communicate nicely with the GUI; an operations can be in state “started”, “finished” or “error”
-
Possibility to Kill current running operations
-
Implementation of a (not yet complete) library that is proposed as the standard datapkg library
-
Code heavily refactored and cleaned up
What will be next? The following are the next features that I plan to include in the next releases:
-
Creation of a Package and Resources
-
Registration of a Package in The Data Hub
-
Localization of the program
-
Integration of the Program in SofaStats
