Quick query about having Pythonista 3 means I dont need the old version

last edited byRunning out of space on my iPad so deleting the old version of Pythonista (Version 2.1.1) would give me some breathing room. Anything I would miss by doing so?
Thanks

last edited byPythonista 3 supports both Python 2 and 3, and as far as I know no functionality was "lost" from Pythonista 2 to 3. The only difference is that Pythonista 3's Python 2 is perhaps a few minor versions newer (i. e. still backwards compatible) and that some libraries might be updated.
If you still have files in Pythonista 2, you can move them over to Pythonista 3 by enabling "Pythonista 2 Files" in the Pythonista 3 settings. That will show a special folder in Pythonista 3 with your Pythonista 2 files in it. You can then move them over and run them with Pythonista 3's Python 2. Once you've checked that they still work, it should be safe to delete Pythonista 2. In the worst case, you can still redownload Pythonista 2 from your purchases.

last edited byEverything @dgelessus said is completely correct. One more note though: If you keep Pythonista 3 installed when deleting Pythonista 2, you will keep all your files. The local files will only be deleted when both apps are gone because they use the same app group, and share their files.

last edited byThanks. Just confirms what I thought based on the documentation. Just making sure. Hope to save up for an iPad just for development. Kids might eat me if I delete their favourite apps. HWS
