last edited byI'd like to be able to add my own code templates. I imagine it extending the list of options you see when you press + to create a new file (Scene with Layers, Basic Scene, Empty) much like you can extend the Actions menu.

last edited byCreating your own modules "just works" in Pythonista. Or were you looking for something else??
To see a module in action, check out: bashedcrab's Hydrogen GUI Framework for Pythonista...
Hydrogen.py is a module -- running it does nothing
HydrogenDemo.py is a script/app/program -- running it imports Hydrogen to create a GUI that the user can play with.http://omz-forums.appspot.com/pythonista/post/5003825878401024

last edited byNow, how am I suppost to add this to the python library, or using another method, to be able to import this example module?
-
last edited byThe first line of code in HydrogenDemo.py is:
from Hydrogen import *Which imports all the code of Hydrogen.py into HydrogenDemo.py.

last edited byI support mspriggs opinion to have OpenGL support...
Although I think it can be real challenge, since it seems the ES bindings may not be very mature.http://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/questions/4852/how-to-use-opengl-es-through-python
https://github.com/peterderivaz/pyopengles
http://pyopengl.sourceforge.net/
IMHO, I think this might boost Pythonista popularity, even more.

last edited byI propose adding playing several sequential sounds (like piano notes) as an "animation". If you play several notes in a row doing:
notes = 'C3', 'D3', 'E3', 'C3'
for note in notes:
sound.play_effect('Piano_' + note)
time.sleep(0.5)even though sound.play_effect is asynchronous and returns immediately, because the notes are played in a for loop, draw doesn't get called until the sounds are all done. The "to_value" in animate would be a sequence of sounds (not just piano notes). In draw (or perhaps "play"), you would do the same "layer.update(dt)" and "layer.draw" (or "layer.play").
This could be implemented using only Python (make a queue of sounds to play, check if a sound is done, and if so, play the next one), but having this as a built-in "animation" would be nice.
Another nice thing would be being able to add your own sounds to the sound library.

last edited byHi Ole,
I'd appreciate the option for partial screen rendering in the scene module. So I can start with the previous frame buffer, and only update/change the areas I need rather than having to redraw the entire scene.I've started on a branch for Hydrogen that implements a "dirty-region" algorithm to only redraw the areas of screen that need it. However I end up with a black screen and only the newly redrawn areas indicating I'm getting a completely new framebuffer, and I can't see a way to preserve the previously drawn scene.

last edited byHi there
Pyhtonista is great! I love it!
The only 2 things that are not working, even though they have been mentioned before, are:
- tab size in iOS7 not working at all
- auto complete for single and double quotes for when you have an external keyboard. It just doesn't work properly.
Thanks
-
last edited byUPDATE: The tabs issue was fixed quite elegantly with the soft tabs feature of Pythonista v1.4.
Instead of tabs, you could use 4 spaces. Python PEP 8 states that spaces are Python's preferred indentation method instead of tabs. Bulk conversion tabs to 4 spaces is a simple process in Pythonista.
-
last edited by@ccc @dsaravel The tab size issue on iOS 7 will be resolved with the next update. It'll also bring an option to indent with spaces instead of tabs btw.

last edited byI have just been playing with the new Pages app from Apple... Me and my brother were editing the same document and instantly seeing each other's changes dispite being thousands of miles apart. It would be a cool feature for Pythonista to allow two coders to jointly edit a single script -- seeing each other's changes in real time. It would be a great way to pair up an experienced developer with a neophyte. Also cool for code reviews.

last edited byPython v2.7.6 has now been released: http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.7.6
Hopefully it will form the core of the next release of Pythonista.

last edited byId love a way to use bluetooth low power from pythonista. It would be a great way to do internet of things !

last edited byI would like to vote +1 to the feature mentioned by @Sebastian.
I want to create "Now Playing" string, but currently there is no way to obtain the music title from Pythonista. It would be pretty nice to have the feature.
