Pythonista 1.6 Beta
-
@andymitchhank Hmm, that does sound like a bug indeed. Which version of iOS are you using?
-
8.1 on an iPad 3 and iPhone 6 Plus. Both are having the same issue.
-
@andymitchhank Thanks, I've been able to reproduce the issue. Apparently this has to do with some new requirements for location permissions in iOS 8, looking into it.
-
I am still working on reproducing an issue that occurs in one of the callbacks in the cb module. What happens is some kind of heap corruption when I call functions in other modules. I was writing some code that used str.append() and getting all kinds of wierd behavior. It looks like either heap corruption or blown stack.
Trouble started when I modified the code trying to print out returned values in a characteristic. I used (print c.value.encode('hex')) in two callbacks and it did not "work". The program just printed nothing but also just returned from the callback and stopped working.
I could use a few hints on how to get a good repro case. I could post my code, but the effect is random and the code needs to access a specific device. Any ideas on how to stress the heap or stack in this callback environment would be appreciated.

And how does one find OMZ's e-mail address? happy to help.
-
Click on the word "email" in the very first post in this thread... It is a hyperlink.
-
ui.TableView.row_height seems to always be -1 for me. This is new behavior. I can provide repro code if you need it.
-
Trying to make a table action so when you select a row it checks off the reminder, is this how that logic would work?
def picked(sender): r.title = sender.data_source.items[row] if r.title in reminders.get_reminders(completed=False): print 'good' r.completed = True

Thanks, should be fixed in the build after the next one (already uploaded that).

I can't see where
r
is coming from in that example and why you would set its title when you actually want to set its completion state. -
Sounds great! Just send you an email (or two--sorry)

@techteej Here's a very simple example of a table view UI to check off reminders:
import reminders import ui def table_action(sender): item = sender.items[sender.selected_row] r = item['reminder'] r.completed = True r.save() del sender.items[sender.selected_row] def main(): v = ui.TableView() v.frame = (0, 0, 500, 500) v.name = 'To Do' all_reminders = reminders.get_reminders(completed=False) items = [{'title': r.title, 'reminder': r} for r in all_reminders] data_source = ui.ListDataSource(items) data_source.action = table_action v.data_source = data_source v.delegate = data_source v.present('sheet') main()

Has anyone else seen this.
I can't install 1.6 because when I click on "Open in Testflight" when reading the apple invite email in gmail it insists on opening iTunes on the Testflight page. When I click on "OPEN" Testflight then says I have to click the link in the email. Has anyone else been able to install from gmail? Is this a gmail bug? I haven't configured apple email so I can't click the link from there.
Any suggestions?
Edit: Solved it. It was Chrome. Gmail launches Chrome to resolve urls. It required cut and paste of the link from Crome to Safari.
-
@zencuke Maybe try copying the link from Gmail and then pasting it in Safari?
-
Still reading the doc. (Actually I connected with the SensorTag and my heart rate monitor first ;-) ) Thanks for Reminders. I didn't realize how much useful functionality (Calendars, Alarms, even geo-location alarms) that included.
Reminders question: This may be a limitation in the apple framework but would it be possible to add an action_url to reminder alarms like there is in the notifications module? It would be nice to implement custom behavior when an alarm happens, from snooze to marking a reminder as done or even changing the reminder contents.
-

No, that's technically impossible. The notifications are entirely handled by the built-in Reminders app.
-
Alright, a few more things I noticed. Some of these were already present in 1.5 or are suggestions, but I suppose it doesn't make any difference now that the beta is available to a few people.
- [major] It is no longer possible for action menu scripts to open
input_alert
s and such. Instead the script will forever hang and cannot be stopped without killing Pythonista. - [major]
password_alert
always returns None. - [major unless you read the source code] In the documentation for
dialogs.form_dialog()
there is no mention of the"title"
dictionary key. - [minor] When viewing a non-Python text file it is not possible to edit the action menu list.
- [minor]
site
builtinscopyright
,credits
,license
,exit
andquit
are missing. (The last two are not very important in Pythonista though.) - [minor] In the tap-and-hold menu of the console's Clear button, the Clear Output button does nothing.
- [visual] Still no line break after the
EXIT (n)
output caused bySystemExit
s. - [visual] The console ignores
sys.ps1
andsys.ps2
, and always uses>>>
and...
instead. - [suggestion] Perhaps also add the "New Folder" option to the "create" menu of the file list, so folders can be created without needing to go into edit mode.
- [suggestion] Perhaps make editor scripts available from the "share" button in the console in addition to that in the editor.
- [suggestion] When entering multiline statements (if, def, etc.) in the console, didn't the ">" previously change to "..."?
- [suggestion] When entering multiline statements in the console, change the "play" button to "cancel", so that KeyboardInterrupts can be sent to cancel statements mid-input.
PS - Simple test for
console
-related bugs:import console def main(): try: print(console.alert("alert", button1="OK")) print(console.input_alert("input_alert")) print(console.password_alert("password_alert")) except KeyboardInterrupt as ki: print(ki) if __name__ == "__main__": main()
Works as a main script, but hangs when added and run as an editor script. Both methods worked fine in 1.5.
- [major] It is no longer possible for action menu scripts to open

Are all features that will be included in the final release included in the beta?
It would be nice to have a phone module. And I have been wanting some way to interact with facebook (mainly for editorial).
-
@dgelessus Thanks a lot, some very good points there.

Yes. I have more things in the pipeline, but probably not for 1.6.

Not sure what you'd expect a hypothetical
phone
module to do. There isn't much phone-related stuff that is accessible from third-party apps. -
@TutorialDoctor, you might want to look up tel:// URLs. They are supported by practically all smartphone operating systems, and on iOS I believe they can be used for FaceTime calls on non-iPhones as well. Skype also understands the callto:// protocol, but that appears to be mostly Microsoft-specific. In any case they are normal URLs and can thus be opened using
webbrowser

@omz Bug,when archiving a folder to send as an email, the email share sheet is never presented.
