backgroundSwap.py https://gist.github.com/cclauss/7132028

Create three background images in scene.setup() then in scene.draw() use the x coordinate of the user's drag location to determine which background image to display. The grey dot represents foreground drawing that takes place on top of one of three different backgrounds. This method could be used for example to make a multilevel game where the graphics for each level were drawn up front and stored in PIL images. The foreground would then be drawn on top of the background of the current level in the scene.draw() method.

Not unless Apple changes their rules — built-in features for downloading code are forbidden. @omz covered this on Twitter.

Yes, while there is no generic package management built-in, it's relatively easy to write a little installer script for SlimIt (and its only dependency, ply):

https://gist.github.com/omz/7087359

The script includes a quick demo, taken from the SlimIt documentation.

The app is trying to post this in the _doAPICall. Can anyone help out?

@omz thanks for the info!

Same problem on iPhone 5 with iOS 7. Thanks for the workaround, but waiting for the fix:)

http://omz-software.com/pythonista/docs/ios/new.html says "You can now run scripts with command-line arguments. Just touch and hold the run button.".

There is broad agreement on your request that Pythonista allow viewing of .txt, etc. files.

I delete the whole project and re-install it again. It worked. At least for now, just remember NOT to "update to recommend setting"

Now I only have

standard architecture armv7 Latest IOS Active No arm64 armv7 armv7s

(The new setting always have both armv7 and armv7s.)

I think it must the way pythonista setup in an older setting. Hope the next round it would be updated.

This week's installment discusses, among other things, the release of Pillow v2.2.1. http://blog.aclark.net/2013/10/03/pillow-221-released

<b>Pillow is the plug compatible replacement for PIL</b> which is part of Pythonista. There have been <b>no PIL updates for 4 years</b> so Pillow was created as a "friendly" fork to deliver similar or improved functionality, documentation, and bug fixes and supports both Python 2 and 3.

Hopefully a future Pythonista will swap out PIL in favor of Pillow.

Import ... and run! Ooh! Really need to learn python properly. Just found coursera has a course in Python (and even signature course as well).

Creative Director, designer and copywriter hitting the restart button. I have long realised that the ad business was morphing post 9-11, and kept talking about how it should change and where it should go. Trouble is finding the tech-savvy people to help bash out the ideas. So I decided to become the tech-savvy guy I was looking for. I fumble and stumble my way through the process, and with the great courses through Coursera, Udacity etc. I have managed to cobble together some Python code. Long way to go. You'll find me sucking up free wi-fi and bottomless coffee at the local coffee shops while trying to make code do stuff on pythonista.

No. My theory is wrong. The main module, which has run(myscene()) in the <i>middle</i> of it, completes before calling the scene . If I correct that import statement it downloads the weather maps, using the default parameters, and only switches to the scene once it reaches the webbrowser.open command at the end. (And it doesn't open the webbrowser window at all.)

So to enable this scene to collect parameters I need to move all the code after the run(myscene()) somewhere else so that it runs after the scene.

There seem to a few minor iOS7 issues below but none are showstoppers.

there is a line wrap issue but also a temporary workaround (more of a hassle on smaller screens).

http://omz-software.com/pythonista/forums-old/discussion/1435/wrapped-lines-not-displaying-correctly

Entering a tab results in just one space going into the editor regardless of the spaces-per-tab setting. The workaround is to just enter 4 spaces as recommended in PEP8.

Apple seems to have tightened up the sandbox constraints in iOS7 so code such as os.listdir('/Library') works on 6 but not on 7.

there a strange issue with roundtrip use of pythonista:// with external browsers (this one is rare and needs further investigation)

I have been using Pythonista on iOS7 since it was released with no major issues.

I cd'd to the tmp directory, noticed that all files started tmp..., and did rm tmp* which has freed more than 2GB. Happy. This 'should' happen automatically or manually more easily in Pythonista. My guess is we're all wasting space; I was just wasting a lot due to all the image processing. I hope one day an update will add this, and maybe even add numpy :-)

Thanks, ccc.

To satisfy my own curiosity, I added a simple implementation of inertial scrolling to Dalorbi's example:

Got it. Forgot that I wasn't drawing the images full size :-(
