A large amount of the questions asked on here have been answered before. If we had a FAQ pinned post, we wouldn't have to answer as many repeat questions (hopefully).

RE: Downloading files from GitHub
That means the folder you are in is already a git repository. Make sure you're in an empty directory (or type
rm -rf .git

Thank you for the update to 300007.
I do not know, it was the same in 300006, but now I have a problem with the additional keyboard on my iPad Pro.
If I Press "+" I get an "%" and "+" and a rectangle witout content on the top of the screen. Pressing "/" I get an rectancle without content. Pressing "=" nothing else happens.Here's a screenshot demonstrating this:

Pythonista 3 300005 bug
@omz There is currently a bug in the latest beta of Pythonista 3 (I haven't tried 2) where text doesn't always change color in the console when the theme is Gold. Sometimes, the text shows up as black, which is difficult to make out on an almost-black background. This problem gets fixed when I change to a different theme and back.

RE: Support Lua code language?
@Webmaster4o Originally, Scratchpad was created to be a way for Codea owners to share their creations with their friends without those friends having to buy the app. I don't know what happened.

RE: How do I abort script (during development)?
When you run a script, the run button is replaced with an X. Tap that for a
KeyboardInterrupt
(what Ctl-C does). -
RE: pygame into pythonista
I'm afraid you cannot use Pygame in Pythonista. Pygame is designed for computers with a desktop environment and a mouse, not iOS. There is an iOS-specific game module called
scene
that is included in Pythonista which can do basically the same things as Pygame, but you'll have to rewrite your code. -

@chriswilson
I will very certainly ask you for help, in some weeks, even only for posting an "helloworld" dummy app to the AppStore ! Thank you.A "dummy app" probably won't make it through the App Store review process.

RE: How to post apps to the App Store?
Putting Pythonista projects on the App Store is a fairly complicated process. You need to put your script in the Xcode project here (note that it only works for Python 2 projects currently) and buy access to the Apple Developer program, which is $99 a year. If you're willing to pay that then we can help further.

RE: Raspberry Pi Package installation error
@Noobernikus you don't need the package installed to write the code. You can code on your iOS device without running the code and upload it to your Raspberry Pi later.
