Do you know how to be root anyway?

What do you mean?

@cvp
When i try one of the functions exec() I get a permission denied message
In fact it seems that i am not getting the right of execution. The os.getuid() function tells that i am the 501 uid
I suppose i should have root uid
What do you think

@philippe I think that exec is not supported in Pythonista. What do you want to do?

philippe

@cvp
Just run a program with one of those exec() command, it’s simple ….

@philippe from where do you want to run a script? Normally, we edit a script and run it via the play button

philippe

@cvp
Yes but I would like to run a script from another script

cvp

@philippe Terminate your first script by this code which will start your other script one second later, allowing the first script to really end its process

Of course, you have to replace my example by your own script path

from objc_util import *
import os
import ui

def t():
	path = os.path.expanduser('~/Documents/MesApps/bd.py')
	arg = ''
	I3=ObjCClass('PYK3Interpreter').sharedInterpreter()
	# run a script like in wrench menu (path, args, reset env yes/no)
	I3.runScriptAtPath_argv_resetEnvironment_(path, [arg], True)

ui.delay(t,1)

@cvp
What a mess !!
Why can’t we use the os module ??
Why do i haven’t the rights on MY phone ?

I WANT TO START A SCRIPT WITH THE SYSTEM OR EXEC COMMANDS IN CONSOLE MODE OR IN A SCRIPT OF MINE AS I CAN DO IT ON A MAC OR A PC .

If this is not possible or if I must invoke some dark unknown hidden class to do it….. I resign

@philippe on a Mac or a Pc you launch directly a script, on iOS the only app you launch is Pythonista and this works as an interpreter to understand and run your script. Don't hope same features for that and you have to accept some limitations, like no exec command

Your script has to run under Pythonista thus why do you want to start it in console mode? If you don't want to edit your script (when it is ended and bug free), you can define it as a Pythonista tool and launch it from the wrench button. Or you can launch it via an icon on your iDevice via a shortcut. On iOS, there is no real command mode.

Why do i haven’t the rights on MY phone ?

The Apple Security Guideline for iOS devices limits the rights that apps have. This means there is less malware on these devices but that safety comes at the cost of constraining what system services are available to developers. Android offers more access but some would argue is less safe than iOS.
