Returns YES if the synthesizer is speaking or has utterances enqueued to speak, even if it is currently paused. Returns NO if the synthesizer has finished speaking all utterances in its queue or if it has not yet been given an utterance to speak.

So if you want to know when speaking stops, one would want to check if not speaking, or speaking and paused.

Because of threading and such, it might be more reliable to implement the delegate, and then keep track of state within the delegate object, that can then be queried in python code.

Haven't tried, but often objc_util.on_main_thread fixes problems like is_paused not reporting correct no values.

Note is_speaking will return true even if paused...

You aren't wrong... I thought he meant today widget. I guess I don't know if today widgets run when.locked?

Everything on your list is doable in pythonista. Widgets are also supported, though there are limitations on memory that limit somewhat of what you can do with today widgets. Shortcuts can also launch pythonista scripts.

Most native frameworks can also be accessed via the objc_util module -- though this can be fairly difficult until you gain familiarity with both objc_util, ctypes and the frameworks in question.

The code will be totally different on Android -- the nativey things in iOS use nativey modules in pythonista. Android speech modules won't work in pythonista, and vice versa for instance.

Are you trying to write JavaScript? Or markdown?

Iirc markdown is directly support we in pythonista. For a programming language, I'm not sure that autocorrect is ever appropriate?

I don't think it is possible. There used to be a way to check if you are on wifi or mobile, maybe still is, then your net code could decide what to do, but I don't think you can enforce it via objc.

I don't think webbrowser has proxy support. See https://forum.omz-software.com/topic/3708/use-objc_util-and-nsurlconnection-to-make-a-get-request/5 for a way to use lower level requests.

From what I read, WKWebView cannot be made to use an NSUrlSession, but maybe @mikael knows. You could probably implement a callback that uses the above retrieve the content, then uses load_html to display.
@mikael, does WKWebView support

@pavlinb in fairness, wget is not a python command, why would you expect it to work in a jupyter notebook on a non *nix system? (!wget tries to call out to the shell, which of course iOS does not have)

The python equivalent would be:

import urllib.request
url-variable = 'https://adress'
urllib.request.urlretrieve(url, filename-variable)

Someone, maybe @mikael or @polymerchm used to have a pyui editor, which let you change the heirarchical relationship of UI.Views.

Pyui's are just json files, so you can also just edit them directly.
