New Beta for Pythonista 3.3
-
@omz, whether a side effect or an intentional improvement, maybe include a note that ARKit now works in the release notes?
-
Apple Shortcuts app tries to open Pythonista 2 instead of 3.3 beta. Worked before with 3.2. Using a url with ”pythonista3://” does not seem to be an option.
General problem or a personal problem? Will be fixed when 3.3 goes mainstream?
-
Great job on the beta!
A few small things:
Could it be possible to edit a shortcut to allow it to run in the background after it was created (if someone forgets to enable “background” when they create the shortcut)? I see that right now only the voice command can be changed after creation.Also, I noticed that the keyboard stays light in the UI editor properties fields although it is dark in the rest of the app.
Thanks, and keep up the great work!
-
@omz - is there any way I can contribute or help?
ie updating modules etc?
I've been playing with some OSS python stuff on iOS here just to figure it all out.
I really don't care to get paid or that Pythonista is a commercial app, it's about the community.
Outside of testing the beta, of course!

@omz If I correctly understand, the new beta version allows to run a Pythonista script, in background (without starting the full app), when it is launched,
either via a notification
either via a siri shortcut
Could it be possible to launch such a script by a home screen icon? -
@mikael I try in the shortcuts app “pythonista3://“ and it works well, it open the app, do you have installed Pythonista2?, can be that a reason for the error? I only have installed pythonista3 beta. In the shortcuts apps I use some kind of url wrapper and a url opener so the complete shortcut open itself Pythonista 3

iPhone XS Max Pythonista keyboard never appears.Hi @omz about two days I upgrade my phone 6 to the xs max. In my iPhone 6 I have the actual beta of Pythonista and the keyboard words well, it appears and it let me ran my scripts, but now in the xs max the keyboard never appears or it appears but it looks like the standard iPhone keyboard and don’t show me any of the shortcuts, I have it enabled and I also try use it with the allow full access functionality but nothing.
The specifications
-iPhone XS Max 256gb
-iOS 12.1.2
-Pythonista 3.3 (330005) beta
-PyKeys enabled
-Full acces enabled (I turn it on to see if them works)
-I also restart my device two times -
@omz If a Pythonista script is launched by Siri as background, it is executed even if Pythonista app is not in the apps list, but when the same script is launched by a notification, with foreground=False, it is only executed when I start Pythonista...
Is this difference normal? -

That's not possible, I'm afraid. Home screen icons always launch the full app.

That's weird, did you do a fresh install of the Pythonista beta on the XS Max, or did you restore a backup? Have you tried disabling the 'PyKeys' keyboard, and then enabling it again? Sorry, I don't have a good explanation right now.
-
@omz I install Pythonista 3 from the backup them I install the beta, I try enabling and disabling pykeys
-
@omz i solve it, i re install the app them i open it and them a install the beta

-
@omz is there a shorctus module documentation? I dir'ed it and found what I was looking for, but documentation could have helped.

@cvp said:
Oh... on iPhone it's not very intuitive to find... :( Thanks though.
-
@sashk In general, you tap on the
(?)button in the console, or on the "Documentation" button in new tabs to get to the documentation. You can then search forshortcuts(or other module names) there. -
-
@omz Would it be possible to add some basic Apple Watch support because Apple removed the Shortcuts app on the watch so there's currently no easy way to do some basic programmable stuff on the watch without Siri interaction, at least that I am aware off.
For example I have a shortcut which gets a json via a secret https url and formats the output nicely or another one which triggers same IoT actions.
It would be nice to do this with Pythonista.
General question: Does the TestFlight Beta override the installed app or is this separated?
-
Some Apple Watch support would be a great addition and (as has been said) would help fill the void that Apple created when they replaced Workflow with Shortcuts.

The beta replaces the App Store version. If you already have the App Store version installed and then install the beta through TestFlight, you'll get a warning message saying that you may lose your data - this is generally not the case for Pythonista. (I've been in the Pythonista TestFlight beta since the beginning, and installing a beta has never overwritten my data. But if possible you should make an iTunes backup beforehand, just in case.)
You can also go back to the latest App Store release at any time, by going into your purchases and redownloading Pythonista there. This will replace the beta version, but also leaves your data intact (except perhaps for features that were introduced in the beta).
