New Beta for Pythonista 3.3

mithrendal

I tested the new BETA build 330012

it still crashes when I use the in 330007 new introduced key_command feature

Pythonista.app completely exists when pressing the 'a' key on the external BT keyboard

# coding: utf-8
import ui
import console

class UIView (ui.View):
	def get_key_commands(self):
		print('get_key_commands')
		return [{'input': 'a'}]
		#return [{'input': 'a', 'modifiers':'cmd'}]
		
	def key_command(self,sender):
		print('key_command='+str(sender))

def main():
	main_view = UIView(frame=(0, 0, 400, 400))
	main_view.name = 'Key Commands Demo'
	
	main_view.present('sheet')
	
if __name__ == '__main__':
	main()

@omz Do you still have some working example code of the new keycommand API ?

EDIT: OMZ wrote me. Although title is optional as written in the documentation, it must be set in the BETA otherwise it crashes.

so the statement

 return [{'input': 'a', 'title': 'a'}]

repairs keycommands for the BETA. It will be fixed in the coming builds...

Ole Zorn has released the first Beta of the next version of Pythonista which has shortcuts support.

@omz regarding passing output: iOS 13 has API's for that! Please support them! :takemymoney:

@omz when is this releasing? Can we get an ipa for the beta cos it’s full

Could I also please request that the new "open external file" and "open external directory" api be supported, so I can use Pythonista to access files AND directories in WorkingCopy. Yay Cheers Dave.

Will this version will support Pandas ?

mikael

@manitsy, no.

Use Google to search for ”Pythonista issues Pandas”.

Just purchased Pythonista 3 and its 3.2 (I had an earlier version as well)
Is this correct 3.3 still not released?
Many Thanks

cvp

@eskdale yes, 3.3 is in beta mode, hoping released soon

videoMonkey

Is there a release timeline? The beta is full and I would like to be able to take advantage of the keyboard.

cvp

@videoMonkey All we can say is that current beta build expires in 61 days

robertiii

Beta has expired....Any way of renewing?

cvp

@robertiii no, but we hope the definitive version will arrive soon

Any news?

@ltddev No but it will come soon. Here is what ole said about "dark mode support", some days ago:

"This is the last feature I wanted to put in the 3.3 release because it's obvious and easy. I still need to make some cuts elsewhere, but I'm happy with this overall, and some future plans and new perspectives are starting to take shape."

Thus, we can be optimistic

"There's many a slip 'twixt the cup and the lip"

Please everyone continue to be patient and compassionate - Ole has publicly said that recent delays are due to his mental health and other personal reasons. It takes time to come back from that kind of thing and the path is rarely linear so his recent progress with feature development and his high levels of communication on Twitter should not be seen as guarantees.

Love to all

Ole just tweeted that he plans to submit 3.3 to the app store over the weekend, with a new Test Flight version also being available at that time too! Release notes shown in his tweet as well.

Super exciting! Looking forward to official 3.3 next week hopefully!

Congrats Ole!

@Zoot can you clarify the meaning of, "...a new Test Flight version also being available at that time too!"?

My understanding would be once the code goes golden in the app store, it means the release is no longer "in beta" and if that is the case, beta testing for this release is effectively wrapped up and Ole does not need beta testing any more and a beta build would cease. If that is the case, what is the purpose of a "new Testflight version"?

Ole wrote: "Here are the App Store release notes I've prepared for Pythonista 3.3. I intend to submit over the weekend, a pre-release version will be on TestFlight as soon as it's finished processing on Apple's servers."

So the implication seems to be that TF will allow access as a "prerelease" between the time it's submitted and whenever it's (hopefully) approved, but that's purely a guess.

Now available for testing.
