Goblins
This is the fifth release of PyDwarf. The primary change is to make PyDwarf easier to use with more recent versions of Dwarf Fortress. The tool is no longer such a stickler about version compatibility info given by scripts, which would previously have had to be updated with every major release to satisfy PyDwarf. Please note that this may break any scripts which have differing versions based on Dwarf Fortress version compatibility. If this affects you, please let me know and I'll investigate a better fix for this version compatibility issue.
This is a cross-platform release. Only Python 2.7 is required to run PyDwarf.
Here's a step-by-step tutorial to guide you through your first time configuring and running PyDwarf, and here's another tutorial to help you get started creating your first mod.
Also, here's a handy list of scripts with which PyDwarf comes packaged. And here's where all those scripts are actually located, in case you'd like to see what their innards look like.
