Pythonista crashes after installing Plotly through StaSh
-
@JonB
Rebooting and trying the extension didn’t work.I don’t have Pythonista 2 so that’s a no go.
How would I go about backing the files up like you said?
-
@isaackoz When you say Pythonista crashes immediately, it has perhaps enough time to process something.
If you can write a small script renaming site-package folder and put this script in iCloud Drive/Pythonista3, you could try to start it from safari via pythonista3://name?action=run&root=icloud.
Of course, you need to remove the app from the tasks list before and after.
Perhaps a silly idea -
huh. This could actually possibly work. Do you know what the exact path to the site modules is? I think it was the third one Ploty was installed to.
-
@isaackoz to test the feasibility, you could begin with a little script that creates a little file in iCloud Drive, just to see if this script runs until its end
-
Ah true, good idea. I’ll try that tomorrow morning and let you know how it goes.
-
@isaackoz ```
iCloud_path = ('/private/var/mobile/Library/Mobile Documents/iCloud~com~omz-software~Pythonista3/Documents/test.txt')
fil = open(iCloud_path,mode='wt')
fil.write('test')
fil.close() -
I tried this and unfortunately it crashes before it runs. Oh well, guess it’s a reminder why you should back up your code haha. Thanks for helping me try though. Gonna just reinstall the app now.

-
did you try an itunes backup (does iExplorer work on recent devices? )
-
Unfortunately I saved it to my iPhone storage and not the iCloud storage haha. And I didn’t have any backups either so an iTunes backup wouldn’t do anything.
So basically I learned the hard way to save all your work in the iCloud folder because it stays if you delete the app and because... why not!
