Shared files on the ipad
-
@cvp I make some other test to open the file like your documentation. I have make a screenshot of my situation. I hope the screenshot will be shown. The script can't open the file.
-
@cvp My mistake. The screenshot is not there. Sorry
I see i have to wait 180 seconds -
@cvp In your last screenshot you ask me if i open "EXTERNAL FILES" an open "Folder". Yes, when i do this, i see the file which i will open and i can open the file with Excel in the "Pythonista App"
-
@Jo Thus all is ok?
-
@pvg No, it's not o.k.. I make the following steps:
- Save the Excelfile with Excel on "Auf meinem iPad"
- Change to Pythonista
- Under "EXTERNAL FILES" choose "Open..." then "Folder..." then "Auf meinem iPad". The file is not there
- I chosse the subdirectory "Excel" an there i found the file
- When i choose the subdirectory, i see the name at the top "Documents"
- I choose the following pathes:
a. path ='/private/var/mobile/Containers/Shared/AppGroup/6ABBAC2F-5C86-4FDE-9028-6379CF4EE774/File Provider Storage/Mappe.xlsx
b. path ='/private/var/mobile/Containers/Shared/AppGroup/6ABBAC2F-5C86-4FDE-9028-6379CF4EE774/File Provider Storage/Excel/Mappe.xlsx'
c. path ='/private/var/mobile/Containers/Shared/AppGroup/6ABBAC2F-5C86-4FDE-9028-6379CF4EE774/File Provider Storage/Documents/Mappe.xlsx'
d. path ='/private/var/mobile/Containers/Shared/AppGroup/6ABBAC2F-5C86-4FDE-9028-6379CF4EE774/Excel/Mappe.xlsx
e. path ='/private/var/mobile/Containers/Shared/AppGroup/6ABBAC2F-5C86-4FDE-9028-6379CF4EE774/Documents/Mappe.xlsx
but when i start the script the command "with open(path,mode='rb') as fil: " >> [Errno 2] No such file or directory
My ios Version ist 13.3.1
My Pythonista Version v 3.3 (330025) -
@Jo said:

Unfortunately, Pythonista displays Documents for each such external folder
-
@Jo please try (with your Id)
path = '/private/var/mobile/Containers/Data/Application/B287D045-9D65-45AC-B31C-B957D4A475C6/Documents/Mappe.xlsx'
-
@cvp The same errormessage "[Errno 2] No such file or directory"
-
@Jo for me, this works with last iOS, last Pythonista
path = '/private/var/mobile/Containers/Data/Application/B287D045-9D65-45AC-B31C-B957D4A475C6/Documents/Mappe.xlsx' with open(path,mode='rb') as fil: r = fil.read() print(len(r))
Files app
Pythonista open external folder
-
@Jo just to be sure you get the correct path of your Mappe.xlsx file when it is defined as an external file,
- create this little script as a Pythonista tool
import editor def main(): print(editor.get_path()) if __name__ == '__main__': main()
- édit your Mappe.xlsx in a Pythonista tab and execute the tool
-
@cvp You are right the path has changed. It looks like the path for external files is "/private/var/mobile/Containers/Data/Application/37E6A0DC-0618-4E14-9AD2-75E03BA90884/Documents/Mappe.xlsx"
The path of the Pythonista Files is Path='.../6ABBAC2F-5C86-4FDE-9028-6379CF4EE774/...'
That solved my problem. Thank you very much for your continued support.
