New Beta for Pythonista 3.3

@omz Will you update many old modules? https://github.com/cclauss/pythonista-module-versions They are very very old.

RomSpy

Thanks for the hard work. I will give it a try.

@omz Alas... crashes ios 9.3.5. I take it older device support has ended now.

Very good news, I will be entering the beta today.

Some packages seem to be in need of an update, maybe the final version may include something with respect to that.

I still have an old iPad 2 (iOS 9) that I use together with my iPhone 7, I also wish that this iPad doesn't get unsupported right now...

Soooooo great to have a new version! Thanks @omz for the beta! Just tried out most of my apps, scripts ans unit tests. Everything seems to work perfectly!
Will continue testing and report any error I find.

Again thanks!

I was just trying the new keyboard PyKeys and notice what seems to be a problem... that whenever I enable it, I see only the small upper part of every buttons unless I show the whole keyboard (I use a physical keyboard by the way). I am on iOS 12 with the new iPad Pro 12.9.
Is it suppose to work that way? Am I the only one that it happens?

sashk

Any plans to include newer version of Python, i.e 3.6.7/8 or 3.7.1/2?

upwart

Any plans to support Pandas?

omz

@caddtec You can tap and hold the ^ button (bottom-right corner) to make the keyboard visible when an external keyboard is connected.

@caddtec I had the problem on iOS 11 but not on iOS 12.

@omz Thank you for the beta. I am enjoying the testing

Any chance on addin a theme element for the stderr console text? The dark red is hard to read with some of the dark themes.

The modules are very very old. Will you update them?

Thanks for the update! I've been looking forward to the Siri integration.

Is there any way to pass input to the script, or return an output from it? The potential for Pythonista as a glue between other shortcuts, and the possibility of creating a programmable voice interface is huge -- but it depends on the ability of Pythonista to process input and generate output.

Edit: I've just realized that the apparent lack (unless I missed this option) of native input / output could be mitigated by using the clipboard. I still think it would be better to have native support (less boilerplate steps in the shortcut app), but now I can finally start experimenting with the above ideas. Thanks again for the update!

@upwart For pandas. +1
@sashk And python 2.7.15

Hi,
I tested the new Beta on my current projects. It run most of the time fine. I had some methods where I had to additionally annotate with @on_main_thread to make it run, which I must not in pythonista 3.2 . But I think this is more correct and I guess v3.2 was just a bit more forgiving in that regard and v3.3. a bit more strict which is fine.

I had an issue though with pythonista-gestures from @mikael :
it gives an key error upon accessing a dictionary each time you trigger a gesture

I opened an issue for this at https://github.com/mikaelho/pythonista-gestures

Due to some restructuring in the new pythonista v3.3, in the end I think it has to be repaired in Gestures.

EDIT: it has been repaired. ;-)

I hope @mikael has also access to the beta :-)

How many seats are there free ?

Now I will have a look at the funny keyboard thing ... ;-)

Unfortunately, there are no APIs from Apple for that, so it's not possible. You can use the clipboard as a crutch though (at least for text-based stuff).

I'm aware of that. I'll look into updating some of the more important ones.

I'll consider it, thanks for your feedback!

Yeah, it's difficult to make it work well in combination with physical keyboards to be honest.

I had a solution that worked better than the current beta, but it was auto-rejected by Apple's App Store validation mechanism because it relied on the keyboard having an "emoji" language, and while that works fine on the device, it's apparently not standard-compliant or whatever.

In general, you can work around this by showing the keyboard manually. You can do this by holding the ^ button in the toolbar above the hidden keyboard (bottom-right corner).
