I am pleased to announce the release of Enthought Python Distribution, EPD version 7.2, along with its “EPD Free” counterpart. The highlights of this release are: the addition of GDAL and updates to over 30 packages, including SciPy, matplotlib and IPython. The new IPython 0.12 includes the HTML notebook, which is why the Tornado web-server was also added to EPD.

EPD 7.2 released
Experimental PySide support in ETS
Over the last couple of weeks I added support for PySide to the majority of the ETS packages, including Traits, Chaco and Enable. I have only tested personally with Ubuntu 10.10 and PySide Beta 1, but we’re beginning to test with OS X (Windows is next). With any luck, the next ETS release will have full PySide support, and the next EPD release will include PySide eggs.
Right now, to use PySide in ETS, you have to set an environment variable QT_API=pyside. I hope by the time ETS 3.6 is released we can ditch the environment variable, but I can’t make any promises.
