Welcome!
This is the community forum for my apps Pythonista and Editorial.
For individual support questions, you can also send an email. If you have a very short question or just want to say hello — I'm @olemoritz on Twitter.
It has been 9 months since the latest version
-
@reticulated Agree. But I still want to know the progress, like I'll have a rest for several months, I finished the next version or I reviewed the code. He does not need to report to us everyday, but 9 months...
I can accept one version per year. But I wonder if we still need to wait 9 months. -
In a word, I can accept one version per year since the price is not high and omz can't earn a lot from that.
But I think he should tell us about the progress sometimes, I'm worried about being dropped and I'm happy to hear the new features.
And I also saw some topics about pandas and other modules. But he still did not give an certain answer.
We want pythonista to be better for all of us including auther, not just for the person who makes the suggestion. -
@lpl
Ill give you that an author not responding to his paying customers is challenging.
However - let's give ole a chance to respond.
One last point to make: @ole is a human being, we have no idea what is holding him up.
Personally- when my family is in need I wouldn't give a moments thought to the project.
Again - not suggesting anything, in fact I will be satisfied to know @ole is doing well.

The app was never promised regular updates. It works out of the box to do what it promises to do, and offers a lot of customizability to have it do what you want.
For a while @omz had more regular updates mostly for bug fixes. If there is a bug that is not reported, please report it over at Pythonista-Issues github.
@omz has been quite clear that he has no plans for pandas/scipy support, so if that is the new feature you are hoping for, you shouldn't hold your breath.

Excellent point- see my other post which will help all but pandas or scipy.

Well, every app needs regular updates. Most devs have to make tweaks at least with each major iOS version. Then there are changes needed due to new hardware, etc. I'm sure some users will hold off on pulling the trigger on a somewhat pricy app if they see it's not being updated regularly.
I was looking to get Editorial, but it's been even longer since it has seen an update. There's no way I'm going to pay for an app that hasn't even been updated for the iPhone X screen.
I hope he does open source Pythonista if he's no longer interested in maintaining it. A great app like this needs to stay at the head of the pack. I'm seeing updates of other scripting apps integrating directly with Siri Shortcuts, and it just reminds me of how awesome it would be to do that with Python instead of JavaScript.

@comfortablynick Omz wrote on twitter recently, he is working on shortcut. And Scriptable s*cks. Try Jsbox, which is also a js ide on ios. https://itunes.apple.com/app/jsbox-learn-to-code/id1312014438

@reticulated have you seen this post?
https://forum.omz-software.com/topic/2747/python-3-x-progress-update/148from @omz: That's very kind of you, but I really wouldn't feel comfortable taking donations. Pythonista is doing quite well, actually – over the last 3 years, I've managed to convince an average of 50 people every day to buy the app, and as a solo developer without a lot of expenses, I think that's pretty good. :) There are a lot of projects that need donations much more than I do.
from @Olaf : wow, 3 * 365 * 50 > 50,000 Pythonistas, that's quite a global tribe!
