The Info.plist is just a file, there's nothing you can modify or hook into directly to change its values after it's been loaded. I don't think an app's Info.plist is kept anywhere in nested array/dictionary form, and even if it is, most likely iOS will only read the value from there once and store it in a private property/ivar/whatever for quicker access. So if you want to modify an Info.plist setting at runtime, you'd probably need to find where its value is stored internally, and modify that.

@scj643 re: blocks, you can always add instance variables (functions are objects in python).

def myblk(blk, arg): if myblk.x: return myblk.x myblk.x=2 ... blk=ObjCBlock(myblk)

It would be nice to have a ObjCBlock as decorator:

@ObjCBlock(argtypes=[c_void_p], restype=None) def myfun(blk, someargs): ...

Also, you can have blocks that live as instance methods:

class MyDelegate(object): ... def myblock(self,_blk): ... print(self.x) ... def __init__(self): ... self.x=10 ... >>> m=MyDelegate() >>> m.blk=ObjCBlock(m.myblock,argtypes=[c_void_p]

This can let you associate other objects with a particular block, to avoid the need for globals.

I think I already mentioned this in the past, but just in case I'll link to it here again: https://github.com/dgelessus/pythonista-c-utils. The C preprocessor part might be useful for you, to handle the conditional blocks and macro definitions and expansion. For the rest, you might be able to expand https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pycparser so it understands Objective-C syntax.

I did a quick translation of the code to run with objc_utils

from objc_util import ObjCClass, ObjCBlock, c_void_p, ns, ObjCInstance def getData(_cmd, pedometerData, error): ped = ObjCInstance(pedometerData) if not error == None: err = ObjCInstance(error) print('error===='+str(err)) else: print('Steps===='+str(ped.numberOfSteps())) print('Distance===='+str(ped.distance())) ped_block = ObjCBlock(getData, restype=None, argtypes=[c_void_p, c_void_p, c_void_p]) CMPedometer = ObjCClass('CMPedometer') NSDate = ObjCClass('NSDate') ped = CMPedometer.alloc().init() if CMPedometer.isStepCountingAvailable(): fromDate = NSDate.dateWithTimeIntervalSinceNow_(-60*60*24*2) toDate = NSDate.dateWithTimeIntervalSinceNow_(-60*60*24*1) ped.queryPedometerDataFromDate_toDate_withHandler_(ns(fromDate),ns(toDate),ped_block) else: print('Unavailable')

I hope it helps.

Could work maybe..

May also work.

@JonB - Have you joined Slack yet?

yes, you could use transforms inside layout... i had some code for detecting orientation in my RootView class https://github.com/jsbain/objc_hacks

you can also specify a single orientation in present, which is supposed to lock orientation.

@scj643 , yes. Backup/restore methods to whatever service. Or at least some popular services.

Definately not.

If you are talking about the list of values down the right hand side of a tableview. I have created a uitableview implementation with objc_utils it doesn't currently implement a delegate or all of the data source protocol but might help you out if you want to implement your own.

The soft tabs and show mixed indentation options in Pythonista give you the best of both worlds. I always keep them both turned on. It is kind of anachronistic that all the example scripts use tabs.
