Flick button keyboard.

@shinya.ta On iPad or iPhone, swipe right to left and console appears.
At the bottom, you can type Python line

shinya.ta

I see ">>> import gesTraceback (most recent call last) : File" <string> ", line one, in <module> ModuleNotFoundError : No module named' ges'".

cvp

@shinya.ta ok, that will say that you have pressed the enter key. But without pressing the enter key, do you see

If yes, that will say that the copy of gestures.py from GitHub has been successful

shinya.ta

@cvp
It will say ">>> import gestures".

It doesn't look like this.

cvp

@shinya.ta please, copy this script and paste in a new empty script, then run it

import os
import requests
url = 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mikaelho/pythonista-gestures/master/gestures.py'
data = requests.get(url).content
dir  = os.path.expanduser('~/Documents/site-packages')  
file_name = url.split('/')[-1]
path = dir + '/' + file_name
with open(path,mode='wb') as out_file:
    out_file.write(data)

Then retry to type "import ges" in console

shinya.ta

@cvp
I entered "import ges" but the reaction is the same as before.

Try writing this as a text file (not bytes) to the local directory instead of site-packages

import os
import requests
url = 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mikaelho/pythonista-gestures/master/gestures.py'
data = requests.get(url).text
dir  = os.path.expanduser('~/Documents/')  
file_name = url.split('/')[-1]
path = dir + '/' + file_name
with open(path,mode='w') as out_file:
    out_file.write(data)

I tried it.
The last line will say "UnicodeEncodeError".

data = requests.get(url).text # <-- text, not context?

with open(path,mode='w') as out_file: # 'w' not 'wb' ?

shinya.ta

@ccc

"out_file.write(data)"

There is an error here.

cvp

@shinya.ta @ccc believe me, I use my script very often and it works successfully each time, no reason to change it.

cvp

@shinya.ta last try in another way.

Go to https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mikaelho/pythonista-gestures/master/gestures.py,
Long press on text, then “select all”, then “copy”
Then, in Pythonista, create an empty script named gestures.py (no uppercase) in the folder where your “Emojis keyboard,py” is, and paste the copied code

@cvp
I copied and pasted it to a new folder.
Nothing special will happen.

@cvp
Currently, "Emoji keyboard, py" works on iPhone but not on iPad.
Is it because of the OS version?
I've done all the tests on my iPhone.

@cvp

Isn't it good to put "gestures. py" directly into "Emoji keyboard, py"?

cvp

@shinya.ta said

Why a new folder? This gestures.py has to be in the folder of your Emojis keyboard.py or in the site-packages folder, why do you want a new folder? Please, we have already so much difficulty to find a solution, when we propose something, please do it or we will never solve your problem

No, please. In this case, every time I will modify Emojis keyboard.py, you will have to insert gestures module. That's the reason why Python has the "import" statement

@shinya.ta si

Nothing has to happen. But the new Emojis keyboard.py will only run ok if you have a gestures module able to be imported.
