Can't speak for Ole but it does seem to be abandoned. His last Twitter comments about it suggested it may be too much work to get it updated the way he'd like.

Personally, I've loved using this app. The workflows and snippets are very useful to me, I like using Python for the scripting instead of JavaScript, and I absolutely love selecting text. The best feature for me is moving the selection marker into the middle of a word and having Editorial automatically move it to the end of the word so the whole word is selected. The current iOS text selection method is horrible, to my way of doing things.

But, as I moved to Editorial from Drafts, so must I move to another. I won't go back to Drafts and don't like iAWriter so I've picked Taio. Not perfect and still rough in some spots but, for me, it's an acceptable replacement for Editorial.

Of course, it uses the standard iOS method of selecting text but I'll cope. It offers iCloud and Files support. I haven't checked into Shortcuts integration or URL Schemes yet.

Other users will have other ideas, of course. Some are sticking with Editorial because there are none better and have gotten iCloud support through "Open in..." methods to save documents and Shortcuts/URL Schemes/clipboard methods to get copy from iCloud into Editorial.

Perhaps also play with modal, try this

import ui v1 = ui.View() v1.background_color = 'yellow' v1.name = 'v1' b1 = ui.Button() b1.title = 'view v2' b1.frame = (10,10,100,20) v1.add_subview(b1) v1.present() v2 = ui.View() v2.background_color = 'cyan' v2.name = 'v2' b2 = ui.Button() b2.title = 'close v2' b2.frame = (10,10,100,20) def b2_action(sender): v2.close() b2.action = b2_action v2.add_subview(b2) def b1_action(sender): v2.present() v2.wait_modal() b1.action = b1_action

@JonB Try to create a picture frame app and see if Pythonista can cycle thru the 50 most recent pictures in Photos without del and without crashing.

@RocketBlaster05 if you prefer to use ui instead of a scene, you can use ui.ImageView and set its image attribute with your image as ui.Image.named(path)

The original link is a more permanent and reliable alias to this URL.

Thanks @ccc! I thought so, but good to be sure.

Here is the last version I used. I have not tried to use this in a while I imagine it may not work with the latest version of Xcode but you are welcome to try.

+1 wikilinks make markdown hugely more useful and readable.

Using a newer version of Python, 3.6 is going to be end-of life in 8 months from now.

Dear community

I cannot add 3+7

The math module is built into Python. You do not need to download anything. Just import math
https://docs.python.org/3/library/math.html

Thanks for the pointers here @cvp
You’re completely right, the problem was my specification of var1 in the shortcut - rookie error on my part! Your screenshots are very clear and highlighted the problem.

Thanks again

@DavinE ok, thus, good luck

@jackyjoy123 sorry for offtop but can u please share with me working xcode template or may be some details and fixes for latest IOS version? Templates that i found can not build up. Thanks for advance.

@JonB said:

pip3 install SQLAlchemy==1.3.23

It’s amazing. I installed the version you mentioned and it works. thank you very much，otherwise I would give up too

Good point re local decreyption key and storing it in the cloud.

TBH, it's more an exercise in "how" to do it, mostly because I've never worried too much because it is only me. But I'm looking to want to do more interesting stuff with APIs that are potentially dangerous (very limited financial access) and also "play" with the idea of using git a bit more (I am aware of .gitignore and will be using it).

No github login credentials or deliberate sharing of any ssh keys or anything like that, certainly not intentional.

With "the cloud: it's not so much a concern of a targeted attack or anything like that, but just a leaking of information, say through an app that may have too much privilege or a little more scope than what I intended. And just about learning better practices.

For the time being I have independent files on the devices, but this project is going to get bigger (hopefully) and so I might move development to an actual computer as I am always hampered by doing real coding on the ipad. I DO do it, but it's just never great.

For the time being I just have a single import which has the credentials on the device itself, ie not in the cloud. It's probably better that way :)
