Soulseek (http://www.slsknet.org) is a communication and file-sharing system. It is quite similar to Napster: it lets you exchange files, search for files, chat with other users in public and in private, browse their files, and get recommendations for music. SoulSeek for Linux is a GUI client for the system written in Python/wxPython. It includes all the major functionality: chat, searches, and file transfers.

XmlBlaster is XML based MOM (Message oriented Middleware) with a lot of features. It is a publish/subscribe and point-to-point MOM server which exchanges XML-encoded messages. Communication with the server is based on CORBA (using JacORB), RMI, XML-RPC, native socket, or a persistent HTTP plugin. Subscribers can use XPath expressions to filter the messages they wish to receive and add their own MIME-based filter plugins. C/C++, Java, Perl, Python, VisualBasic.net, C#, and PHP client demos are included in the xmlBlaster test suite, and Tcl and Python demo clients are scheduled. XmlBlaster also provides a browser callback framework, allowing browsers (Netscape, Mozilla, MSIE) to receive instant callbacks over a persistent http connection. A security plugin framework allows authentication/authorization in many ways. Currently there are LDAP- and passwd-based plugins available.

congruity is a GUI application for programming
Logitech Harmony remote controls. Configuration
setup is via the Logitech Web site, in the same
fashion as Logitech's own Windows/Mac OS software.
congruity will handle processing the files
downloaded from the Web site, which perform "check
connectivity", "configuration update", "firmware
update", and soon "ir learning" operations. It
uses libconcord for the underlying remote
interaction, is written in Python/wxPython, and is
portable to at least Linux and Windows.

PhonoRipper is an easy to use, all-in-one GUI tool
for creating audio CDs from analog sources like
vinyl records. It uses Cdrdao for CD writing and
Normalize for volume normalization. Features
include a fully buffered WAV file recorder with
mixer and VU meter (supporting both ALSA and OSS
drivers), automatic detection of track borders,
an intuitive drag'n'drop CD writing interface
with CD-text support, CDDB queries of CD text data, and a WYSIWYG CD cover editor.

Plucker is an offline Web and eBook viewer for
Palm OS-based handheld devices and PDAs. It comes
with Unix/Linux tools and conduits, and Windows
and Mac OS X conduits that let you decide exactly
what part of the Web you want to view on your PDA
(as long as it's in standard HTML or text format).
The requested Web pages are processed, compressed,
and transferred to the PDA for viewing by the
Plucker viewer.

gnome-python is a set of interfaces to gnome-libs. It also contains a copy of PyGTK, so you don't have to worry about gnome-python getting out of sync with your copy of PyGTK. The bindings cover almost all of the APIs in gnome-libs.

The GNU Compact Disc Input and Control library encapsulates CD-ROM reading and control for applications wishing to be oblivious to the OS- and device-dependent properties of a CD-ROM. It provides an API for access to SCSI-MMC (multimedia commands) and support for CD image types like BIN/CUE, cdrdao's TOC, and Nero's NRG, which gives applications using the library the ability to read disc images as though they were CDs. ISO-9660 filesystem support is included, as are utility programs for displaying CD and CD-ROM drive information, reading the blocks of a CD, and extracting files from an ISO-9660 filesytem image. cdparanoia is also included.

OOoPy is a Python library for modifying
OpenOffice.org documents. It provides a set of
transformations on the OOo XML format using the
ElementTree XML Library. Transformations included
are a mail merge application and the concatenation
of documents with formatting
intact. The framework supports easy creation of
new transformations.
