As always, please feel free to drop us a line if you have ideas for future issues or feedback.   The ActiveState Team Komodo 6 Gets Even Better Komodo 6 just got even better with the release of Komodo 6.1! Revised and Enhanced Projects and Places A number of our Komodo 5 users told us that they missed the old Projects system. By popular demand, we've brought back some of those features in Projects & Places. If you're one of those people, or you've never tried Komodo IDE, try out the updated interface. Enhanced Django Support Komodo IDE 6 was released with support for more languages than ever, including HTML 5, CSS 3, Python 3. With the release of Komodo 6.1, we've added even more support for Django: Better syntax highlighting and smarter indentation for templates Automatic code completions for Django template tags and filters Syntax checking for templates Hyperlinks to easily jump to template file locations Give Komodo IDE 6.1 a try; we think you'll like what you see! Using Gunicorn on the ActivePython AMI   Last month we posted a screencast from Raymond Hettinger of Python Academy on Getting Started with the ActivePython AMI on EC2. For this follow-up post, Mike Ivanov walks us through swapping the default Apache web server for Gunicorn (aka Green Unicorn, a Python WSGI web server) which is a popular replacement for Django environments. This tutorial continues on from the Building a Python-centric WebServer in the Cloud tutorial. See the full tutorial to help get you started with gunicorn on ActivePython Amazon EC2 servers. WEBINAR TOMORROW: Embed Mathematical & Statistical Functionality into Python Applications with PyIMSL & IMSL Libraries Date: Tomorrow! Wednesday, February 9, 2011 Time: 10am PST/ 11am CMT/1pm EST Space is limited, so reserve your seat now! Following on the announcement of our partnership with Rogue Wave a couple of weeks ago, we're hosting a free webinar for all you Pythonistas and financial engineers to learn more about the power in this new offering. If you're developing financial or scientific applications, learn how to use Python, PyIMSL, and Rogue's IMSL Libraries to embed mathematical and statistical functions in your applications.

Seamless customer experience with ActivePerl OEM

Hi sherly,

Are you using ActivePerl to build externally distributed products?

If you are, have you considered creating a more seamless customer experience that enables you to redistribute ActivePerl in your products to your customers? With our OEM bundling solutions, we work with companies such as Cisco, VMWare, CA, Diebold, and Funnelback to help them:

• Save their developers time in coding with ActivePerl's pre-compiled modules, consistent across multiple platforms
  
• Bundle ActivePerl into their products with proper redistribution rights
• Ensure proper licensing is passed onto their customers
• Reduce legal risk and save time with an all-in-one licensing including applicable Perl modules

Often times, development teams are not fully aware how open source impacts intellectual property (IP) and legal exposure. We have many resources to help you understand this, including:

• Webinar: Putting Open Source Dynamic Languages through the Licensing Test: A guide to most popular licenses and their implications
• White Paper: License to Code - Indemnifying your Business Against Open Source Licensing Liabilities  
  

Or, learn more about how CA saves development time and dollars every year with ActivePerl Enterprise OEM solutions.

Let me know if you are available for a quick chat to discuss whether this is a viable option for you and your business.

Thanks,

Angie
