Pythonista 1.6 Beta
-
the appex has its own sandbox... the main app can see the appex sandbox, but not vice versa. I think this is a security feature. bottom line, you have to reinstall all of the modules you need into extension/site-packages folders.
if you want to do this using stash, you can find the Extensions folder by opening a file, then using
editor.get_path
. otherwise just copy the folder using the file manager. -
My file manager doesn't seem to have a way to move a folder into extensions. Also, pythonista crashes if I try to create a file in a sub folder of extensions.
-
Ok, this worked for copying the folder, I got
path
like you reccommended, @JonB
-
As a workaround for the
import appex
bug:import _appex _appex.watch = None import appex
-
Oh, wow! Thanks!

Build 160025 bug report.
I have a folder structure /AAAdriver/ inside of which I have DriverInfo.py and TripDataA.py.
previously, from within DriverInfo.py,
"import TripDataA"
worked just fine. With the latest beta, I'm getting "ImportError: No module named TripDataA"

From someone who indents with spaces - there are a few things that don't work as well with spaces indentation as with tabs:
- Backspace on a space indent only deletes a single space, as opposed to {indentwidth} spaces like in 1.5
- The "indent" option in the selection popup menu always indents with tabs no matter what
- The "dedent" option always dedents by only a single space
- The width of a tab character in the editor doesn't match the width of {indentwidth} spaces. Or rather it only matches if the default font settings are used.
Slightly related, it is still not possible to indent in the console using an external keyboard's tab key.
It would also be useful if there was a way to set indent mode for individual files. Not necessarily in a permanent way. For example most C source files assume that tabs are 8 chars wide, and some things look very "unaligned" otherwise.
-
I find the mechanism for opening multiple existing files a bit confusing: In editor, select [+. Then open file selection (hamburger menu), then select file. I would like to see a more straight forward way to do this from file selection directly, for instance hold file name for a longer time, show context menu allowing to "open in new tab" (similar to link in safari).

@georg-viehoever You can swipe left on a file to get an "Open in new tab" option.
-
@omz that was quick :) Frankly, I always associated left swipe with delete (as in the mail app), not with open... Maybe "long hold" is more intuitive, and could also be used for other advanced actions such as rename etc..
Another wish: Copy and Paste on tracebacks. Would also be useful for some people in this forum that post long programs for correction...

Actually, I can wait for releasing Pythonista 1.6 but It has been so long. Could I play with the next version of Pythonista? I try to run script from the forum but some of them only support 1.6. I will send my Apple ID via email.
Thank you,
Sanit -
