Welcome!
This is the community forum for my apps Pythonista and Editorial.
For individual support questions, you can also send an email. If you have a very short question or just want to say hello — I'm @olemoritz on Twitter.
numpy again
-
It's wonderful! (^^/
-
/me screams
(I would make it an in app purchase so that we have ways of funding your development, the people that would use such modules can definitely support you :) )
-
Amazing work omz!
-
Don't answer this if you don't want to, but do you think it will be possible to interact with 3D graphics made by matplotlib?
(maybe with scene kit? https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/3DDrawing/Conceptual/SceneKit_PG/Introduction/Introduction.html)
-
Fantastic news! Thank you. :-)
-
Can I vote against in-app-purchase? It has a tacky money grabbing feel and splits the user base. New users alone will generate handsome returns for a numpy matplotlib module.
-
I agree with sidewinder — no (*&$#%#$ in-app purchases, please. The practice is repulsive. The app is hardly expensive in the first place, given what it does, and numpy will definitely attract new users.
-
I don't think that I'll make this an in-app purchase. If you find a cool Pythonista script somewhere, and you have the latest version of the app, you should be able to run it, period. Introducing IAPs like this would reduce the appeal of an "all-in-one" programming package.
This is not to say that I would never use IAP at all (I can think of a few hypothetical features for which it might make sense), but not in ways that affect interoperability.
To be honest, I am considering to increase the regular price of the app a bit though. Comparable apps typically cost at least $10, so Pythonista is relatively cheap right now, especially given that it's a universal app. This wouldn't affect existing users at all, and I haven't actually made a decision yet, just something I'm thinking about.
I also don't think that I'll make numpy and matplotlib available in Editorial, at least not initially.
That said, here's another screenshot to whet your appetite, this time in full retina resolution. ;)

@omz: Could you make the next Pythonista update to be working again on iPad1? I could ignore the last update, but I don't want to miss this one. Please… :( I promise I'll buy Editorial if Pythonista could be run on iPad1 again. :D
-
@bee I'm sorry, but that won't happen. I know this sucks for iPad 1 owners, and I've kept iOS 5 compatibility for quite a long time after iOS 6 was released for exactly this reason, but it's quite a bit more difficult to support older versions of iOS alongside iOS 7, and my resources (time) as a solo developer are quite limited.
-
@omz awesome news, can't wait for the next version. I know you're still working on it, but any idea when it might be released?
Once you get Matplotlib working properly, it'd be great if you could eventually add support for inline plotting, a la IPython. Actually a full IPython front-end would be awesome too.
I'm not the biggest fan of IAPs, but I think it's a better idea to charge $0.99 for extra packages that not everyone will use, instead of raising the entire cost of Pythonista. I think being cheaper than comparable apps is a good thing in some regards.
-
@omz: Yes, I understand. Thank you for responding my query. sad '_'
-
Just found a great simple app: http://tydligapp.com
With numpy and matplotlib, I think some pythonistas will write a program similar to that by using Pythonista. (pun intended) :D
-
I'm new to the forum, I just bought Pythonista right after omz's posted those beautiful images of matplotlib. I just wanted to thank you omz! Waiting anxiously for the next update!
-
Loving the application. Is there a timeline for next release
-
@Avisual I'm still working on it (numpy/matplotlib won't be the only new thing), and I'm not sure yet when I'll be done.
-
I see your a solo developer. Can I offer any support.
-
Fun possibility?
matplotlib + (lightning to serial adapter) + pyserial + equipment = real time data streaming/plotting?
This is that cable: http://redpark.com/lightning-console-cable-l2-rj45v/ , I have used it with get-console for data acquisition. Cool stuff!
-
I'm absolutely delighted to see that numpy + matplotlib are coming! Thank you so much for developing this! This is the last ingredient I need to be able to do science development on the road with my iPad.
-
When Will numpy+matplotlib be included?
This would make life so much easier.
