Pandas would be very useful.

@cvp Using a UI would be very nice but I would settle for the console. Python comes on the Mac but since it is OSX (and not iOS) you can pretty much install any Python distribution you like. I use Anaconda.

With the advantage that there would be no restrictions on the libraries that could be ported :-) I would guess that @omz has his hands full with IOS but it would be great if someone would develop an IDE for Android. SL4A makes it easy to run python 2.7 or 3 but I have not seen an IDE that runs under Android.

@cvp I am glad to see that you are maintaining a sense of humor. (or at least I hope you are).

@cvp Good question. On the Notebook app that I've mentioned earlier, if you move to under the 2.0 it becomes 3.0 but if you move to under the b (in 2.0) then it becomes 2.1. So it is sensitive to whether the location is indented or not.

I am looking for an outliner tool (app) that would permit me to create an outline using either the Roman numeral (I. A. a., ii. ) or numeric format (1. 1.1 1.11 1.111). and that would support drag and drop reordering of items. I have searched unsuccessfully for such an app. I think this ought to be possible with Pythonista but I am not skilled enough to do that. Has anyone done this with Pythonista or seen an app to do this?

Some Apple Watch support would be a great addition and (as has been said) would help fill the void that Apple created when they replaced Workflow with Shortcuts.

@omz Can you share with us what you are working on for future releases of Pythonista?

What (and where) is ShaSh?

Or use Stash and cp.

Or you can use OMZ's script: https://gist.github.com/omz/1aec8a66a5d5d19a36ab

Another option if you don't want to use Dropbox is ftp. You can use stash to pip install pyftpdlib and then follow the example here: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pyftpdlib/
I just tested it with transferring an sqlite file and then opening it in Pythonista and it worked fine.

@JonB That would be great. In the meantime, I shall try to gain a better understanding of the script.

@JonB I added the (primitive) file picker snippet to your script to enable selecting an image from the photo gallery. The modified version is in my git as floorplanarea-2.py. I wish I could say I understood your code well enough to make more than trivial changes (e.g. scale setting mode with feet/inches, a way to save the image with the area calculation, etc.) but I sincerely appreciate the work you have already done.

@JonB I added floorplanarea-4 to the git repository with a file picker to select an image from the photo gallery and a slider for the scale setting. I tried to get the code to work in the RoomAreaView function but resorted to using a temporary file and calling the script with that file. In using the script, I also realize that a slider is fine except that the initial setting of the scale must be done with a known distance (e.g., a room width) but that measurement may not be part of the area calculation (e.g., it may be an interior room). So, a better way to set scale might be to do that explicitly (tap a button, select 2 pts with a known distance and enter that measurement in feet/inches) and then go on to mark the area to be computed.

I will say that this is already a useful script as I can now simply save a floor plan to the photo gallery and open it with the script and measure areas. Thank you for your expert assistance.

Presumably you could also construct the email and send it using smtplib without ever invoking the mail app.

Sounds like a plan. Thanks guys!

AFAIK, jailbreak is not an option (at present) if you are on ios9.1 or beyond.

Sorry if this is (or should be) obvious, but where is the Foundation module? (I get an error when trying to load it)

Not to get in the middle of this, but you do realize that jb145491 posted 10 months ago and AFAICT hasn't posted since.
