Hello everyone,

we're happy to announce that we have just released Pydoop 0.7.0
(http://pydoop.sourceforge.net).

The main changes with respect to 0.7.0-rc1 are:

  * support for HDFS append open mode -- thanks liam821
    * works if HDFS append is enabled in your Hadoop version/config
  * fixed a bug in the HDFS instance caching method
  * added binary package for Ubuntu 12.04 with CDH4.1.2

As usual, we're happy to receive your feedback on the forum:

Pydoop is a Python MapReduce and HDFS API for Hadoop, built upon the C++
Pipes and the C libhdfs APIs, that allows to write full-fledged
MapReduce applications with HDFS access. Pydoop has been maturing nicely
and is currently in production use at CRS4 as we have a few scientific
projects that are based on it, including Seal
(http://biodoop-seal.sourceforge.net), Biodoop-BLAST
(http://biodoop.sourceforge.net/blast), and more yet to be released.
