Pythonista 1.6 Beta
-
Python version 2.7.5 --> 2.7.9?
>>> sys.version '2.7.5 (default, Dec 3 2014, 19:04:52) \n[GCC 4.2.1 Compatible Apple LLVM 6.0 (clang-600.0.54)]'
Python 2.7.9 is scheduled to be released this Wednesday with some nice networking security fixes backported from Python3. It will also bring
ensurepip
to Python2.I know it is a lot of work but is there any chance of an upgrade of the underlying Python interpreter in the next Pythonisa release?
EDIT: Python 2.7.9 is now officially released

Tech, perhaps create a new thread, since the problem is likely not related to 1.6.
Maybe include the traceback, so we know what error you got. Also, be sure to include enough info, like the troubleshooting steps you took. Like what did you see when you printed all of the expressions individually on that line. -
Not about technical things, but I believe omz should provide demo video of Pythonista both on the site and in the app store. The video should be able to present the ability of Pythonista much better than just static images, especially the advance features. Omz can take a look at Codea's demo video, it's quite good. And I believe a good demo video would also be able to attract new purchasers.
Thank you.

I'm also getting the disappearing script bug found on here a lot more in the beta.
-
I too lost a script mysteriously. The file is still there - it's just empty.
-
Did you guys see disappearing scripts with or without external keyboards?
-
Both with and without.

@techteej About your bug. You really didn't provide enough info. The error message itself should have been the minimum. plus anything you figured out while debugging. "I got some random error in this big piece of code" isn't enough to get most people involved. I couldn't even run your code since you didn't include the view file so I just moved on. I assume others did the same. Print out the values of the relevant variables. Simplify the code so it is easier to read from scratch. Save us a minute or two of analysis by commenting on what the line of failing code was trying to do and why you think it should have worked. If you have theories share them. Help us help you.

Ole, I saw your post about the new Workflow app, and I went and downloaded it. I see that it has support for Editorial and Pythonista.
I am supposing you are adding some type of extensions support in this version, I am just wondering if you are now considering adding something a little special for this new (and soon to be very popular) app.

@TutorialDoctor what is this workflow app you speak of?
-
Workflow: Powerful Automation Made Simple by DeskConnect
It is a way to automate in IOS, like Automator for the mac, or Launch Center Pro. But it is so advanced as to be able to use Pythonista and Editorial to enhance automation.
You can pass command line arguments from the app to a pythonista script, and use the result elsewhere in the app, or as an extension for other apps.
These workflows can be saved on the home screen, or can be used from the share sheet as an extension of its own.
-
@TutorialDoctor Thank you, Looks very interesting, Just picked it up.
-
Not to make this thread about Workflows.app - but there currently is a bug that when you call a workflow from the action extension which calls a Pythonista script that takes input (args) - Pythonista will open but the script will not run.
-
I have been finding bugs myself, but I expect as much from such an app. That is why I am wondering if this 1.6 update will make the process a little better. The Workflow app is fresh-baby new.
If Pythonista is getting Bluetooth support, then having Editorial, Pythonista, and Workflow, along with the Switch Controls (if you use it) makes the iPad one of the most productive mobile devices ever, and at this point, I find it more productive than my laptop in some cases.
Then all we will be waiting for is more power from the hardware side.

Does anyone have any example scripts of things that you could do with the new
cb
BLE module? I have a couple of Light Blue Beans and don't really know where to start. -
@hyshai I started with the examples. Just edit them. I used them to find all the services and characteristics availiable on bt devices. Then I started reading to see what info I could get. See if you can find info on Light Blue Beans in reguards to the offered characteristics and services. I just tinkered and played and have a Raspberry Pi working headless over bt.
-
I have been looking for a way to use an iPod touch as a switch control for the iPad. Anyone know if the BLE module would allow this? I haven't downloaded the beta, because I don't want to overwrite the current version.
I'd like a software switch control.But it would seem the pi could be used to interface the interaction?

@briarfox
Thanks - I'm trying to wrap my head around profiles, services and characteristics and what they each are/do.I'm wondering if Pythonista will be able to read serial output https://punchthrough.com/bean/arduino-users-guide/#wireless-serial
