pip install gestures, WKWebView, UI animations and more

This looks great! But I can't seem to get the install to work. This is what I get:

@becktrex, hmm, exact same files install with no problem on my iPhone.

I am sure you have restarted Pythonista and tried again?

@bennr01, would appreciate any hints on how to debug this?

mikael

@becktrex , encoding error could point to some py2 issue, not sure if that helps any.

mikael

Error matches a stash issue.

mikael

@becktrex, are you running the latest stash? (selfupdate)

bennr01

would appreciate any hints on how to debug this?

In general, stashconf py_traceback 1, stashconf py_pdb 1 and pip --verbose install pythonista-gestures.

I just tried and could not replicate the error (it installs successfully).

Error matches a stash issue.

I think that one is a different issue. StaSh pip has two installers: one for source install (via setup.py) and one for wheels (.whl). The linked issue was regarding the source install, while this issue is with wheel installations. Also, I think we already fixed the linked issue, but I am not sure...

mikael

@becktrex, if pip will not co-operate, you can just as well open stash and:

cd site-packages
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mikaelho/pythonista-gestures/master/gestures.py

becktrex

StaSh v0.7.2 on python 3.6.1
pythonista V. 3.4 (330025)
iphone 6S+
iOS 13.3.1
StaSh "selfupdate" returns "Already at latest version"

I've tried this over the last couple of days. Restarted Pythonista, rebooted iphone, etc. with the same result.

I tried pip install again with the above "extras", no joy, results below.

wget from the site-packages directory worked fine.

After looking into this issue for a bit, it seems like the same bug as in Issue #364. This should have been fixed 12 months ago, just a month after the latest version bump for master. So it is possible that you have a version installed before that version bump.

So, since it seems like the master branch became a bit outdated,I just merged 152 commits from dev into master. This should include the fix as well as a version bump, so could you please try another selfupdate?

becktrex

That did the trick.
selfupdate was successfull.

"pip install pythonista-gestures" installed the first time.

mikael

@bennr01, a big thank you! for all you do to keep us stashed & pipped.

It's always a pleasure. Though in this case, the fix was made by yjqiang.

Drizzel

@mikael Just a tiny correction, please correct me if I’m wrong. In the multipeer readme it says one should use <pip install multipeer> to install your module, which doesn’t work. You probably meant <pip install pythonista-multipeer>.

mikael

@Drizzel, thank you, fixed. Multipeer was my first PyPi exercise, and my naming convention was still evolving – meaning, I did not yet know how to give a module a different name in site-packages and PyPi. :-)

Hi, I tested one demo code in readme of pythonista-wkwebview

class MagicWebView(WKWebView):
  
  def on_magic(self, message):
    print('WKWebView magic ' + message)
    
html = '''
<body>
<button onclick="window.webkit.messageHandlers.magic.postMessage(\'spell\')">
Cast a spell
</button>
</body>
'''

v = MagicWebView()
v.load_html(html)

Well it works good, but when I try to load html file, the 'on_magic' doesn't work, here's my code in py file

class MagicWebView(WKWebView):
	def on_magic(self, message):
		print('WKWebView magic ' + message)

v = MagicWebView()
v.present()
# v.load_html(html)
v.load_url('test.html', no_cache=False, timeout=5)
v.clear_cache()

I don't know how to fix it

cvp

@Anxietier try

import os

w = WKWebView()
f = os.path.abspath('test.html')
print(f)
w.load_url(f)
w.present()

mikael

@Anxietier, I see the online documentation covers this poorly. Here’s the method docstring:

Loads the contents of the given url asynchronously.

If the url starts with file://, loads a local file. If the remaining url starts with /, path starts from Pythonista root.

For remote (non-file) requests, there are two additional options:

Set no_cache to True to skip the local cache, default is False
Set timeout to a specific timeout value, default is 10 (seconds)

mikael

@Anxietier, you can get this and similar documentation on other methods using the help function, e.g. in Pythonista console:

>>> import wkwebview
>>> help(wkwebview.WKWebView.load_url)

Anxietier

@cvp
thanks, but it seems doesn’t work, here’s my test code

file_name = 'test.copy(2).html'
file_abs_path = os.path.abspath(file_name)
url_file_name = 'file://' + file_name
url_file_abs_path = 'file://' + file_abs_path

with open(file_name, 'r', encoding='utf8') as f:
	html = ''.join(f.readlines())

v = MagicWebView()
v.present()

# v.load_html(html) # can load but button doesn't work

# v.load_url(file_name, no_cache=False, timeout=5) # can load but button doesn't work

# v.load_url(file_abs_path, no_cache=False, timeout=5) # can load but button doesn't work

# v.load_url(url_file_name, no_cache=False, timeout=5) # would let ista crash or load faild

# v.load_url(url_file_abs_path, no_cache=False, timeout=5) # doesn't load

v.clear_cache()

Anxietier

@mikael
I’m not sure if I described my issue clearly, and here’s my another test code, perhaps that would be clearly

file_name = 'test.copy(2).html'
file_abs_path = os.path.abspath(file_name)
url_file_name = 'file://' + file_name
url_file_abs_path = 'file://' + file_abs_path

with open(file_name, 'r', encoding='utf8') as f:
	html = ''.join(f.readlines())

v = MagicWebView()
v.present()

# v.load_html(html) # can load but button doesn't work

# v.load_url(file_name, no_cache=False, timeout=5) # can load but button doesn't work

# v.load_url(file_abs_path, no_cache=False, timeout=5) # can load but button doesn't work

# v.load_url(url_file_name, no_cache=False, timeout=5) # would let ista crash or load faild

# v.load_url(url_file_abs_path, no_cache=False, timeout=5) # doesn't load

v.clear_cache()
