      I did it using a webclip in a profile (despite the fact that <a href="http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/featuredarticles/iPhoneConfigurationProfileRef/iPhoneConfigurationProfileRef.pdf">the documentation</a> says the URL needs to start with http or https).

    • RE: Other ways to convert Markdown/HTML to PDF in iOS

      Here is the python script I used to install everything (I have a directory 'scripts' that contains all python stuff):

      <pre>
      import urllib
      import tarfile
      from zipfile import ZipFile
      import shutil
      import console
      import os
      import editor
      from os.path import expanduser

      os.chdir(expanduser('~/Documents/'))

      url = 'http://www.reportlab.com/ftp/reportlab-2.7.tar.gz'
      fname='reportlab-2.7'
      sname='src/reportlab'
      dname='scripts/reportlab'
      print 'Downloading '+dname+'...'
      urllib.urlretrieve(url, fname+'.tar.gz')

      print 'Extracting...'
      t = tarfile.open(fname+'.tar.gz')
      t.extractall()

      if os.path.isdir(dname):
      shutil.rmtree(dname)
      shutil.move(fname+'/'+sname, dname)

      print 'Cleaning up...'
      shutil.rmtree(fname)
      os.remove(fname+'.tar.gz')

      url='http://pybrary.net/pyPdf/pyPdf-1.13.tar.gz'
      fname='pyPdf-1.13'
      sname='pyPdf'
      dname='scripts/pyPdf'
      print 'Downloading '+dname+'...'
      urllib.urlretrieve(url, fname+'.tar.gz')

      print 'Extracting...'
      t = tarfile.open(fname+'.tar.gz')
      t.extractall()

      if os.path.isdir(dname):
      shutil.rmtree(dname)
      shutil.move(fname+'/'+sname, dname)

      print 'Cleaning up...'
      shutil.rmtree(fname)
      os.remove(fname+'.tar.gz')

      url = 'https://github.com/html5lib/html5lib-python/archive/master.zip'
      fname='html5lib-python-master'
      sname='html5lib'
      dname='scripts/html5lib'
      print 'Downloading '+dname+'...'
      urllib.urlretrieve(url, fname+'.zip')

      print 'Extracting...'
      with ZipFile(fname+'.zip', 'r') as z:
      z.extractall()

      if os.path.isdir(dname):
      shutil.rmtree(dname)
      shutil.move(fname+'/'+sname, dname)

      print 'Cleaning up...'
      shutil.rmtree(fname)
      os.remove(fname+'.zip')

      url='https://github.com/chrisglass/xhtml2pdf/archive/master.zip'
      fname='xhtml2pdf-master'
      sname='xhtml2pdf'
      dname='scripts/xhtml2pdf'
      print 'Downloading '+dname+'...'
      urllib.urlretrieve(url, fname+'.zip')

      print 'Extracting...'
      with ZipFile(fname+'.zip', 'r') as z:
      z.extractall()

      if os.path.isdir(dname):
      shutil.rmtree(dname)

      if os.path.isdir(dname):
      shutil.rmtree(dname)
      os.mkdir(dname)
      print 'Downloading '+sname+'...'
      urllib.urlretrieve(url, fname+'.zip')

      print 'Extracting...'
      dr=os.getcwd()
      os.chdir(dname)
      with ZipFile(sname+'.zip', 'r') as z:
      z.extractall()
      os.chdir(dr)

      print 'Cleaning up...'
      os.remove(fname+'.zip')

      editor.reload_files()
      print 'Done'

      </pre>

      Then the workflow contains a 'Document Text' step, followed by a 'Convert Markdown to HTML' step, followed by the following 'Run Python Script' step:
      <pre>
      #coding: utf-8
      import sys
      from os.path import expanduser
      if not(expanduser('~/Documents/scripts') in sys.path):
      sys.path.append(expanduser('~/Documents/scripts'))
      import workflow
      import os.path
      import editor
      import xhtml2pdf.pisa as pisa
      import StringIO
      from urllib import unquote

      pisa.showLogging()

      def link_callback(uri,rel):
      if not(uri.startswith('/')):
      return dir+'/'+unquote(uri)
      return unquote(uri)

      action_in = workflow.get_input()
      pre='<html>\n<head>\n<meta charset="utf-8"/>\n<style>\n p {font-size:12pt}\n</style>\n</head>\n\n<body>\n'
      post='\n</body>\n</html>'
      inp=StringIO.StringIO(pre+action_in.encode('ascii', 'xmlcharrefreplace')+post)
      p = editor.get_path()
      dir = os.path.split(p)[0]
      f = os.path.split(p)[1]
      fn= os.path.splitext(f)[0]
      fl = file(dir+'/'+fn+".pdf", "w+b")
      print('processing '+p)
      pdf = pisa.CreatePDF(inp,fl,dir,link_callback=link_callback)
      fl.close()
      if pdf.err!=0:
      print(pdf.err)
      else:
      print('done!')
      </pre>

      I installed xhtml2pdf (together with reportlab-2.7, pyPdf-1.13, html5lib) in Editorial.

    • Detect when in the background

      Does anyone know if there is a way to detect when a running program (scene) is in the background (e.g. Because the user has pressed the home button)? I tried it with notifications (since I thought it reacts differently when the program scheduling a notification is in the background), but unfortunately all I managed was to crash Pythonista :-(

    • RE: Detect when in the background

      In the end, using the pause, and using notification('',0,'','pythonista://test?action=run') it 'works' because that crashes the app in the background (but that is not the right way to do it)...

    • RE: Detect when in the background

      Nice suggestion! Unfortunately what I'm trying to do is quit the scene when the user presses the home button, but putting a sys.exit() in there doesn't stop the scene. I also tried to use a delay(0,lambda: sys.exit()), but then the scene ends after relaunching Pythonista. Since what I really want to do is allow for the launch of another program using the pythonista:// custom url, I get the error message 'Already running script' :-(

      I created my own keyboard (using screenshots of the real thing)...
