New Beta for Pythonista 3.3
-
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.
-
In the Testflight version, under External files, Open..., I can choose between ”Python/Text file” and ”Folder”. If I select folder, I still only see iCloud and ”On this Phone” folders, but no Working Copy repositories.
Am I missing something obvious?
-
I can see Working Copy and access folders in it (note: I use the Working Copy test flight version), so unsure as to why but I assume you can see Working Copy in the files app.
-
I don't use WorkingCopy but I see iCloud, On My iPad, my NAS ip and my Mac ip
-
@shaun-h, thanks. I had somehow lost Working Copy in Files. After I enabled it again there I can now open the repos directly in Pythonista – excellent!
-
Now, the open external folder also shows an usb Drive connected, and that is a very good news...
-
The idea is that I still need to finish a few things for the release (mostly app preview video etc.), but I wanted to ensure that users get access to the update a bit earlier because I can’t really foresee how smoothly app review etc. goes, and some people relied on features that were in previous betas, but not in 3.2.
-
@omz Welcome back and thanks for the future version. I'm sincerely more than happy that you feel better.
-
@cvp Thank you!
-
@omz welcome back sir. Thank you for the update.
-
@jmv38 Thanks to you as well! :)
-
@omz thanks for the update!
Pythonista has been unbelievably helpful at my work, and continues to impress every day.
-
@omz, my sincere thanks to you, as well.
Pythonista and this incredible community have enabled me to keep up and develop my Python knowledge, squeezed in between a non-coding job and a busy family life.
I am not exaggerating when I say that that was the primary thing that enabled me to get a new job, starting a new career next month as a full-time senior Python developer.

Happy to see you @omz and the update!
