PowerConsole 0.7 is released
I’m happy to announce the public release of PowerConsole v0.7.
What is PowerConsole
In short, PowerConsole is enhanced python interpreter that can host user defined commands. Uses pyparsing-based grammars for user commands to translate them into python calls, so it has limited support for mixing them with Python code.
Basic ready to use CLI interpreter included.
You may ask how it’s related to Firebird? Well, PowerConsole is the evolution of Firebird PowerTool I presented at Firebird Conference 2006. (http://www.ibphoenix.cz/pwc/download/PowerTool-2006.pdf). It’s the universal execution engine for user commands, and new Firebird PowerTool is build on top of it as plugin (command package). Actually, the Firebird QA tool set is being rewritten on top of it too. Both expansions are still in development so they’re not on PyPI yet, but you may taste them by installing pwcfb (Firebird PowerTool) or pwcfbqa (QA package) from the PowerConsole download area (use easy_install with -f option to point to it).
You’re comments are welcome. The core is considered stable, and you can start to develop your own commands for it 🙂
Requirements:
Python 2.5 or 2.6
kinterbasdb (for firebird and qa expansions)
qmtest (for qa expansion)
other dependencies are resolved by easy_install, however
cheetah-community-edition (for qa expansion) must be taken from *our*
site (use the -f switch).Installation:
Use easy_install from python setuptools package to download and install it. If you don’t have setuptools installed yet, download and run next python script:
