  @JonB , thanks. Yeah, it appears great for a reasonably robust way to identify let's say an entity. Interesting reading the article. I ran the function of the py3 beta and the py2 beta, and I got the same result as the article says you will as it's from the same vendoer. I have saved the result to see if it changes next time I do a beta update. It says it may or may not. I have 3 installs of omz software (editorial, py3 beta and py2 beta) It doesn't really matter, just interested. This way seems pretty good for pythonista scripts.

  @omz any chance of a update to the Xcode template anytime soon? Or at least make available the necessary binary libraries? I've a script that makes use of the Texture.subtexture() method, which does not seem to be available in this version. Many thanks!

  To open a URL in Chrome on iOS, you can simply replace http:// with googlechrome:// in the URL (https:// becomes googlechromes://)

  Example: webbrowser.open('googlechrome://apple.com').

  And 76% of that movement was caused by the incredible market demand to try the latest Beta versions of Pythonista!

  @Niall , look I get your frustration. But all I am saying, these frustrations are 99 economic frustrations. And I agree, economic frustrations are very real. So if anyone could wave the magic wand and have that not be a part of the conversation, then there would be no issue and maybe product life cycles would be down to 2 years. Which before too long, I would not be surprised to see.
  Again, I don't think this cycles are motivated out of pure greed. I am not some some antics are not. Look it's a difficult conversation. I would make an educated guess we are far better off today even with faster device depreciation than we were years ago because of huge reduction in hardware costs. Anyway, I am not trying to stir the pot. Just pointing out there is a huge cost to us all for legacy systems and I understand why the companies try to control it (besides greed). I use Apple products, because I can afford them, they control the hardware and software which mostly ends up in a far better ecosystem than others, the quality of the products, the quality of the software on their that are made for their products and their hard control over assets like the App Store. I am not going to rant in Andriod as it serves no purpose, other to say I have tried many andriod devices as I wanted the best platform. The last paragraph or so may seem off topic, not really. My point it, as far as I can see in the mobile area, no one comes close to apple for OS adoption rates, device ability to upgrade to the newest OS, legacy support. Meaning, it could be a lot worse with other Hardware vendors.

  Btw, I still have a IPad Mini, I use it for Apple TV, Hue lights etc. it's handy for me, as I normally get to the end of my battery life of my iPad Pro daily. 10/11 hours use. I have found my Mac Pro desktop almost redundant these days as I much prefer to use my iPad. So hardware can become redundant for various reasons.

  Lol, holy crap. I am writing a book here. Ok, I will shut up now. I do see your frustration though.

  it is a dulwich problem, but what we have to discover is whether it is a pythonista stash dulwich problem, or dulwich in general, or a problem with your specific setup.

  If you can't clone from github, then we know the problem is in your setup.
  If you can clone from a desktop to your server using dulwich, the problem is in the ios +dulwich combo. If you can clone using dulwich without stash, the problem is with stash git.

  thanks for the explanation. I naively assumed that ctypes.py_object == PyObject instead of PyObject *.

  Found I had a Dropbox File Picker.py and a Dropbox picker.py, with the latter working correctly. So now I have the 4 files, RoomAreaFinder.py, swizzle.py, Gestures.py, and the jpg and I still get no output except when I do a zoom gesture and then I get console debug output.

  [Lab] Function to easily create a vertical view of views
  ui.view lab • posted

  Made more improvements today. The biggest dealing with the view names. I added a parameter to the 2 main functions to accept a list of names. I think I have done this in quite flexible way. I have commented the code. but this was a big thing missing, I think my approach is a pretty reasonable solution.

  I also added @JonB ViewWalker Class. it's very helpful. Most notably in MyClass (Example implementation ). You can easily access all your views with dot notation via one class attr. I have commented on this in the code.

  I did some other things such as a dynamic attr to the views created in the module called vid (View ID). Maybe not necessary, but it's still helpful for the sake of a few bytes per view.

  One thing I am conflicted about is the code similarities between the 2 main functions. is so tempting to try and merge them, but my gut feeling is this would be a mistake. Well for me it would be a mistake, lets say that. if I tried to combine them, I would be worried about really weird logic creeping in. I should be able to remove some of it into a different function that both funcs call. baby steps....

  I have a few things directly on my mind that I need to think about.

  when splitting a view, should the view being split be renamed. in a practical sense, it seems so. but this can make things a little ambiguous also. when splitting a view, should you inherit the visual aspects of the parent? Or maybe support kwargs, apply to the parent as well as the new views. The latter is starting to make more sense. Does split_view_h need to be able to split vertically as well.

  A few other smaller issues to consider also.

  Again, I know for a lot, this is not exciting. For me though, it is. it's only a wireframe so to speak. But getting wirefames in place to start populating them with tables/controls etc can be so frustrating and time consuming. and it's about the least exciting thing you have to do. if you can just knock out the wireframe quickly and start adding your functionality, to me that's great.

  Btw, the code looks long. it's not. it's just all the commentary.

  New gist Here.

  @abcabc Tank you very much for your tip. It was very informative. The panel view reveals itself to be useful to host "editmenu"' s routine. I moved to python about a year ago from C++ and delphi. I was looking for a language that could easily be ported in source code to all five major platforms (MS Windows, OSX, iOS, Android, Linux). I developed the C.O.D.E. (Code Once Deploy Everywhere) concept. Using Pythonista on IOS and Kivy on the other platforms I finally developed an adaptable structure that could be used in all these platforms without modifying the Python scripts, not even the ui scripts. However, I do not go into learning the details for the ui in each environment since they can be changed by the dev at anytime. This is why your reply was so valuable.

  @ccc , yes I get you about a 3 line function, but to change the colors was just to show something happened. Was not the practical use in this case. The idea each button would be performing a totally different function.
  But look it does not really matter. I get you. You are a disciplined programmer. You cant easily turn that on and off; you see it one way, the right way as you perceive it. I was the same way when coding was my profession. It also served me well. You have to be like that or at least you should be in my view. But I am back to amateur status with not much chance of getting beyond that unless I give up the BL 😬

  How to Connect Table View Methods to UI Builder (Storyboard)

  @GroundhogDayLoop, using the ui.View you assign to your .pyui file you can access the ui.Table by the name you give it in the builder.
  Eg

  v = ui.load_view('my_view.pyui') tbl = v['tbl_name'] # can access any of the elements this way

  By default tbl load from a pyui file has a ListDataSource already attached correctly as the data_source. Of course you can change it. But it's work having a good look at the ui.ListDataSource before doing so as it's quite powerful and can save you some work as well you can extend it if you need to.

  One thing to keep in mind. The code above works if your table is on the root/parent view in the builder. If you for example placed a CustomView then added the TableView to the CustomClass (so TableView is now a Subview of the CustomView) so then you would refer to your TableView like -

  tbl = v['custom_class_name']['tbl_name']

  I hope that last part is clear

  Aha - you're right! I moved my code line (the send_to_back) into after the subviews are created rather than when all the attributes of the element are setup and it works wonderfully. Thanks!
