Use existing scripts from outside Pythonista
-
Hi,
First time user questions: I have several Python projects currently in cloud drives. Is there a way to point to them for editing/running, or importing?
Thanks!
-
Open them in Safari or another app, copy the text of the script, paste that text into a new Python file in Pythonista.
Or... Use DropboxFilePicker at https://github.com/Pythonista-Tools
-
You can also use the app extension to import files into the main app

@lukaskollmer, how?
-
Open a Python file in another iOS app (Safari?) and then click the Share (box with arrow pointing upwards) and then select a Pythonista script that has code like:
import appex def main(): if appex.is_running_extension(): for file_path in appex.get_file_paths(): print(file_path)
See:
-
You can use my Open in Pythonista solution.
Note, this extension script depends on *libs package.

Thank you very much for the responses. I was hoping for a more native method. However, I'll give it a try when I reach my destination. When I tried it last with cut/paste method, my indentation were gone. Hopefully the browser method would preseve it.
Thanks again!
