      Hi @Omz,

      just reading the release notes is awesome. I immediately tried some of the stuff and just have to say WOW. Just one question about the beta testing: Open comments about the the beta here or where to sent my remarks?

      Tom

        As long as you make it clear that a thread is beta-related, it's totally fine with me to discuss it here.

        I've just submitted a new build with a few fixes – most importantly, the dialogs module should actually work now. It'll be available in a few hours (it takes a while for iTunes Connect to process new uploads).

        There's also a new twitter module that allows you to access iOS Twitter accounts from Python. This makes it a lot easier to use the Twitter API because authentication is handled automatically. There are some easy-to-use functions to do API requests directly with this module, but you can also use it just for generating Authorization headers that you can then pass to your favorite HTTP library (e.g. requests or urllib), if you want more control.

          Bug: passing variables into console.login_alert doesn't work and causes the command to hang (was working in stable).

            @hyshai Thanks, I'll look into that. So far, I can't reproduce the hanging, but it definitely doesn't work correctly (it always behaves as if it was cancelled).

              Just started playing with it, truly great. Also noticed that sheet view doesn't have a fixed width and height now, and it responds to the views set size. Wasn't in the release notes so I'm not sure if this was meant to be there.

                @omz I narrowed it down. It has nothing to do with a variable. Multiple prompts are the issue e.g.

                import console, keychain
                keychain.get_password('test', 'test') #requires keychain.master_password which has a prompt
                console.login_alert('hello') # this will never be called and the script hangs
                

                another example

                import console
                console.login_alert('hello')
                console.login_alert('goodbye') # this will never be called but the script exits silently
                

                Is this possibly related to the bug of not showing the keyboard automatically when there's an input prompt (specifically the keychain.master_password prompt)?

                  This sounds interesting, looking forward to the update. Sent you an e-mail.

                  Does TestFlight require iOS 8? I have an oldish iPhone that can only run iOS 7 that I might be able to test with as well.

                    I think TestFlight requires iOS 8.

                      @omz TestFlight does require iOS 8. How do you get the text entered into a text dialog?

                        It's the return value of the text_dialog function.

                          Just mailed you my apple id. Would love to test out BTLE.

                            I assume the appex module you teased on Twitter is not integrated/activated in this Beta? Anyway, it's pretty cool you're doing this and I am happy to test the Twitter integration :)

                              Feedback on the in-app "What's new in Pythonista?" docs... Change dialgos to dialogs and activate the hyperlink.

                                @ccc, I believe omz uses the same doc generator that is used for the standard library, in which case it will automatically link once the module name is recognized.

                                  @omz searching in the docs is very wonky. sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't - just says "Searching......". (using an iPhone 5)

                                    Just looking at the docs has me wowed! One tip would be to include an example script for BLE, as the protocol my be a little foreign to some.

                                      A few things I've noticed so far:

                                      • The Pythonista.app bundle is now fully moved out of the "Data" folder and no longer easily accessible (sad face)
                                      • The Trash is invisible when empty (not really a bug, but somewhat counter-intuitive)
                                      • The Trash didn't appear for me the first time I deleted a file until I opened the settings (thus reloading the file list I suppose)
                                      • No way to selectively delete files from the Trash or restore multiple files at once
                                      • The Move menu still takes ages to open
                                      • Not specifically a beta bug, but in thumbnail view the default syntax highlight style is always used, no matter which one is selected in the settings

                                        @omz for reminders.get_reminders(completed=TRUE) is there currently, or could there be in a future version, a way to filter completed reminders with completion date. Perhaps something like reminders completed today, or the past week, or since a given date? That could be nice for keeping track of certain projects or self-quantification, et al. Also would like to see this module in Editorial eventually. Better than using url schemes in all these reminder workflows.

                                          I was able to use the Bluetooth LE module to talk to a LightBlue Bean and enumerate all of its services and characteristics.

                                          I also tried reading all the values for each characteristic and ran into one problem. The values returned may or may not be text strings and if you simply assume they are and print them to the console you can get the module to throw an exception

                                          TypeError: must be string without null bytes, not str

                                          Trace back says it happened at line 73 in cb.py

                                          After that you can recover but you can also crash completely or leave the module in a bad state and unable to talk to the peripheral.

                                          Here is my code:

                                          import cb
                                          import sound
                                          import time

                                            Instead of a plain print(data), try using print(data.replace("\x00", "")), with data being the value received from the peripheral. This simply removes any null bytes from the string to stop print from complaining. For debugging purposes you might want to replace null bytes with something like "NULL" so you can find them in the printed text.
