It should be in Reverse domain name notation. Do you own a domain? Then it's easy: just revert the order of the parts of the domain, than tack on a component that is specific for your app. E.g. If you would own example.com, you could use com.example.myapp for your app named "My App".

If you don't have a domain, you wouldn't be able to submit the app to the App Store. But for your own personal use, the identifier should not matter much, as long as it is unique. I would probably use com.example.<my name>.<my app>

@TheWizza, these manual steps are unnecessary.

Using stash,

pip install module_name

is all you need. Pip does the searching, downloading and unzipping for you.

Pip can also search for modules (if you don't know the exact name), update modules, install a specific version, and more. as with any stash command, you can use

pip -h

or

man pip

to learn about pip's capabilities.

@brumm works for me. Probably you edited bin/find.py by accident. The original is 147 lines long, but the error message refers to line 148..,

To download a single file, use wget. Use the -o option to specify the destination file name, otherwise it will download to the clipboard:

wget http://www.example.com/path/to/file -o file.py

Cool!

At First, I was wondering which of the .py files to use for the action menu (it's chooseicon.py). Maybe you should add this to the readme.

@Des: I had exactly the same problem, see above. Just force-quit and restart Pythonista

Item 1 might be a Pythonista issue. Seems that it gets confused if you update code outside of the editor

Item 2 works now like a charm. Thanks!

Hi Jon,

Very cool! Finally I can review my changes before committing them!

I noticed a couple of bugs:

• the first time I tried to run it (after running install_gitview), it failed with an ImportError for the drop down module. Had to restart Pythonista to get it working
• when trying to push something (to my github repo) it prompts for credentials and Pythonista freezes.

iPad 4th generation, Pythonista 1.5: 23446.4 pystones/second

Another app might not be able to read Pythonista's keychain, but any script within Pythonista can.

So if you download and run untrusted scripts, and have valuable passwords in Pythonista, it might be a good idea to use a master password.

As many as you like.

That's not quite true. Python 2.7 will be supported until 2020. See PEP 373

Nevertheless I would also like to see Python 3 support in Pythonista. Python 2 is in maintenance mode, Python 3 is where the cool new things are being developed.

I wouldn't mind paying anew for Pythonista 3. If it were possible to have both interpreters in one version, this would be even better, of course. To decide which interpreter to use, it could use the shebang line, if present, else a user preference.

Apple's rules require that the library is statically linked, so LGPL code is off limits for Pythonista.

Hi,

I noticed that the UserList and UserString modules are missing in Pythonista 1.3. UserDict, however, is present:

import UserDict
import UserList
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named UserList

import UserString
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named UserString

These modules are deprecated, but 3rd party libraries might use them. As a workaround, just replace the UserList.UserList class with list, and UserString.UserString with string,

Improved / cleaned up syntax, better string handling (no string vs. unicode, and a separate bytes type for binary data), views and iterators instead of lists in many places, integer types cleaned up, standard library cleaned up... You get the idea.

All this clean up not only means that the language is easier to learn, it also makes future development of the language easier, as the developer don't have to bother with legacy stuff anymore.

Python 3 is the better language, however many libraries and tools are still not compatible with it. Fortunately it seems to get traction now.

Sorry, I must have truncated the link somehow. Here is the correct link:

http://omz-software.com/pythonista/forums/discussion/128/threading-module-crashes-the-app/p1

For the crash, maybe it's the problem described here:
http://omz-software.com/pythonista/forums/discussion/comment/

For the other problem, can you post a complete example?

Just join all your threads before you end the script:

threads = [ThreadClass() for i in range(3)]
for t in threads:
t.start()
for t in threads:
t.join()

Unfortunately, youn cant do that, Pythonista doesn't provide access to iOS APIs like Core MIDI.
