Why do i haven’t the rights on MY phone ?

The Apple Security Guideline for iOS devices limits the rights that apps have. This means there is less malware on these devices but that safety comes at the cost of constraining what system services are available to developers. Android offers more access but some would argue is less safe than iOS.

we can always use editor.get_path() for a script existing in Pythonista iCloud.

Yes. editor.get_path() returns the same string as Python's builtin __file__ but that does not enable scripts in the usual default directory to read from and write to iCloud.

@cvp maybe that file is writable by user, if user can add , delete, modify by hand snippets. But as you said if user can't see that file in visible directories, probably it is write protected. The best solution for me that works also for console remains the execution of a py file at Pythonista startup with a series of definition like:

def scipy.x1: None def scipy.x2: None ...

Thank you cvp for snippets solution, I've seen it is powerful with common pieces of code user uses often.

@ihf Is it possible that you changed/deleted the sample scripts somehow? Could you try "Restore Examples" (from the settings)?

@Raymond 👍

@harrietzaspel when you create a sound object (called player in the script) using an effect, by sound.Player(...), memorize this created object and use player.stop() to stop it.

In the script, each button refers to a sound effect, and its Player object is stored in player attribute of the button object. Assume your button is called b, b.player is the associated Player object and thus b.player.stop() will stop the sound.

Hoping I'm clear enough

@philippe Don't forget that doc has already been a big work for the developer. And if you search via Google for Pythonista, UI, Custom Attributes, you will find some examples.

@bosco you are too kind

@JonB I'm still extremely new to all this. Sounds a bit more complicated than I'm prepared for. I was jumping for joy when I managed to get robin_stocks running in Pyto and that just took editing one line of code...

I'm quite literally using Pythonista to edit all the code and only using Pyto to press run.

Seems I'll be out of luck until I get a better understanding of things.. Appreciate the feedback and suggestions though, I'll keep this on my radar.

Thank you @cvp and @omz for your answers!

-the album has videos in there too, can pythonista display videos via the ui module?

Yes it you should need ObjectiveC, try this quick and dirty script

Note that my album is named Pastels, replace that by your own album

import photos import time import ui import random import threading from objc_util import * class my_thread(threading.Thread): def __init__(self,asset, vo): threading.Thread.__init__(self) self.asset = asset self.vo = vo def run(self): asseturl = ObjCClass('AVURLAsset').alloc().initWithURL_options_(self.asset.ALAssetURL(),None) i=AVPlayerItem.playerItemWithAsset_(asseturl) p=AVPlayer.playerWithPlayerItem_(i) videolayer=AVPlayerLayer.playerLayerWithPlayer_(p) videolayer.frame=self.vo.bounds() self.vo.layer().addSublayer_(videolayer) p.play() AVPlayerItem=ObjCClass('AVPlayerItem') AVPlayer=ObjCClass('AVPlayer') AVPlayerLayer=ObjCClass('AVPlayerLayer') albums = photos.get_albums() album = [x for x in albums if x.title=='Pastels'][0] photos = album.assets random.shuffle(photos) iv = ui.ImageView() iv.content_mode=ui.CONTENT_SCALE_ASPECT_FIT iv.present('fullscreen', hide_title_bar=True) v = ui.View() v.frame = iv.frame v.hidden = True iv.add_subview(v) vo = ObjCInstance(v) dt = 0 for photo in photos: #print(photo) if photo.media_type == 'image': iv.image = photo.get_ui_image() time.sleep(0.2) elif photo.media_type == 'video': phasset = ObjCInstance(photo) v.hidden = False mythread = my_thread(phasset, vo) mythread.start() time.sleep(photo.duration) v.hidden = True

My question would be rather what to do best, with Pythonista (if that continues now after all) or start over with Tkinter for computers

@philippe as usual, not sure I correctly understand your request.
Try this code. It uses the name attribute of the label to be accessed in the button action

import ui v = ui.View() v.frame = (0,0,400,400) v.background_color = 'lightgray' l = ui.Label(name='label') l.frame = (10,10,380,32) l.background_color = 'white' l.text = 'initial' v.add_subview(l) b = ui.Button() b.frame = (10,50,380,32) b.background_color ='white' b.title ='change label text' def b_action(sender): b.superview['label'].text = 'new text' # b.superview is v, v['label'] refers thus to your label b.action = b_action v.add_subview(b) v.present('sheet')

If you are using Stash pip install tinyOpenAI. you can run it on Stash using: tinyopenai , run a cmd line ChatGPT.

@cvp Thank you!! All's clear & working, yay 😁

@rami this little script does not list show as an asset method

import photos asset = photos.pick_asset() print(dir(asset))

If you extract an ui.Image from the asset, this one has a show method.
