@resserone13, I know that it is a very different approach and I am sorry for that, since it does not necessarily help you progress with yours. I tried to think what I would recommend for your code, and found I had to define a potential data model for myself first.

If there is something there that you can reuse, great. And please ask if I can clarify how something works or – even better – why I chose to do something in a specific way.

If it helps, I have also used Pythonista almost exclusively on my iPhone for years now. Of course the typing can be clumsy, but nothing prevents you from incrementally building something significant.

Installing pure Python packages

Hi guys,

I'm building my Zettelkasten system on my iPad (I'll keep you posted on my progress, building some stuff you'll probably also like) and I stumbled upon the problem of not being able to install additional Python packages.

I'm came up with this script - click here to install - that mimics the behaviour of pip install. It grabs the sdist or source distribution from pypi.org and installs the package in the /site-packages directory.

One more thing - Some packages are not python 2.7 supported anymore, but older versions of the package are! I've added a dict in the beginning of my script where you can define the package name and the latest version which is python 2.7 compatible. Please feel free to add some contributions to this dict so this dictionary can be extended.

Source code - See github: https://github.com/rebot/Editorial

Please feel free to add your ideas or make some contributions on Github.

@pavlinb There is a Pythonista 3 Xcode Template that you place your code in. You must have a Mac with Xcode installed and have a little bit of knowledge on how to upload apps to the App Store to configure.

@cook Cool, tomorrow!
