This is a repeat of a follow-up in a different thread but since it address the matter of access and manipulation of Google Drive files I am going to cross-post it here:

Just to follow up on this matter. After struggling with PyDrive in pythonista for a while with resulting errors, I opted to just go ahead and try the Google Drive API.

There is a super simple tutorial in codelabs:
https://codelabs.developers.google.com/codelabs/gsuite-apis-intro/#0

Everything installs nicely and runs well. It even lets you complete the authentication in a separate browser if need be. I did the authentication on my raspberry pi and scped the secrets.jason and since then it works perfectly.

Just in case anyone wants to access and G suite files, you should know that pip in stash running in python3 nicely installs google-api-python-client and oauth2client in the site-packages-3 (which is all you need for Google Drive API).

Thank you Ole, this is what I was looking for, and thank you especially for taking time to answer bye so I can see the difference.

I want to mention that I use your app at a code school in Matsumoto, Japan. Until now I have taught with a block code app called Hopscotch but we needed to move up and I decided Python over Ruby. Your app makes it possible to learn Python on iPad.

I am very grateful for this. Your app is a huge win for education!

Python scripts can be edited in VIM and run in a shell in a-shell app, if that is what you are looking for.
Also has GitHub access via lg2.
Pip for installing packages.
Pico for quick edits.
Also, free.

@resserone13 This was helpful. Was having difficulty with creating delays and this cleared it up. Thanks for the pointer. Cheers.

@bennr01 just want to confirm that installing PyDrive via pip on raspbian downloads pyasn1 0.4.5

This is not the same with pip in stash 7.1.

But I honestly don’t know how much it matters.

@bennr01 I am not running 7.2. Running 7.1 and that might be part of my problem. Will update shortly.

Regarding pyasn1, versions 2.1 to 4.2 were released in 2017.

I believe I am looking at the version of pyasn1 correctly. I only did so because in the original guide I was following @JonB specifically installed a version of pyasn1 after PyDrive. I wanted to make sure my version was the same or higher.

I looked in: /site-packages-2/pyasn1/init.py

version = '0.2.1'

Then I looked in: /site-packages-3/pyasn1/init.py

version = '0.1.7'

Not sure why these would be different, or why the version in my python3 would be an earlier version. I am thinking to delete these packages from PyDrive and dependencies, update stash and then reinstall with pip.

Also plan to do a PyDrive on my raspberry pi today and compare the files.
I am still new to this stuff but what to understand better what’s happening under the hood.

@JonB Thanks again for your time
I’m going to install PyDrive on my Pi zero to familiarize myself with the normal process so I can debug where along the process my pythonista install is failing.

I did check the site packages and saw the Stash running 2.7 installs a more updated version of pyasn1 (v. 2.1) where as stash runing at 3.6 installs an earlier version of pyasn1 (v.1.7). This seemed strange.

Thanks again for your feedback. I will finish a PyDrive install on Rasbian (debian) which should be straightforward and then see where I am going wrong on Pythonista.
I will also check stash/bin/scp.py

@JonB thanks for pointing out my options. Will probably try installing the ssh python module first.
Normally when I think of ssh I think of Bash, and since Stash (from what I read) is really just emulating a shell, I wasn’t sure if that would get in the way.
I guess there is only one way to find out.
Again, thanks.

@mikael thanks for this. I will check it out later, but it looks like something I should know.
I am assuming that in s.connect the port is 22 for sftp.
Thanks for the pointer.

@JonB Yes, it is. I use scp in stash, but was hoping to be able to call scp from inside a python3 script.
Something like this:

from paramiko import SSHClient
from scp import SCPClient

ssh = SSHClient()
ssh.load_system_host_keys()
ssh.connect('example.com')

with SCPClient(ssh.get_transport()) as scp:
    scp.put('test.txt', 'test2.txt')
    scp.get('test2.txt')

I know there is an scp python module:
python scp module

Can I call a Stash command from a python3 file to run scp from stash?
Sorry if I am not making sense.
Thank you again, since I feel like I keep asking you questions.
