you can basically do anything you can do with python in Pythonista. There is just the multitasking restrictions and file write restrictions to only inside the apps documents dir.

No wonder he was surprised it worked. Apples docs say the UIApplication is Not available in app extensions.

It's possible this will break in later iOS versions.

This script is fantastic on my iPhone 6s. It even shows line wraps with a dot. This really needs to be added in a new update by default.

Well dam if an extension can't open an app, I'm going to have to get fancy for viewing source code.

Fantastic, it works. Now I can keep all of my scripts backed up on github.

This is fantastic. There are so many possibilities I can do now with pythonista and editorial with webpages. Right in the safari app.

Ok so workflow can open other apps from the app extension. The user just had to confirm it. So how would I do this from the pythonista extension?

Am I missing something here? It is not opening the textastic app.

# coding: utf-8

import appex
import webbrowser
from urlparse import urlsplit

def main():
	if not appex.is_running_extension():
		print 'This script is intended to be run from the sharing extension.'
		return
	url = appex.get_url()
	if not url:
		print 'No input URL found.'
		return
	url = urlsplit(url)
	url = 'textastic://' + url.netloc + url.path + url.query + url.fragment
	print url
	webbrowser.open(url)
	
if __name__ == '__main__':
	main()

It looks like its broken? Pythonista is running version 2.7.5 and my mac is running 2.7.10. Your simple print statement with the go back works fine on my mac.

Ya fixing the path to have Pythonista generate, os.path.expanduser did it. now lets hope apple won't make him pull the extension as its letting me do all sorts of cool stuff.
