@omz feature suggestion - text resizing in the documentation viewer - especially useful in conjunction with the newish console/docs sidebar-pinning.

Bonus points: keyboard commands to resize (command +, command - ???)

@omz Suggestion: simple built in sqlite3 viewer. When you go to a SQLite 3 db file in the Pythonista file browser, it would be great if instead of just showing a large icon and open in, it showed the contents. Would be useful as a quick reference while developing...remove friction for just quickly checking a result.

also, using the Pip command in Stash you can install from github repos using pip install UserName/ProjectName

@omz one more suggestion regarding line numbers on different device sizes. What if you had line numbers be an optional toggle on all devices, with sane defaults in place. In fact, I'd love to be able to turn it off temporarily on an iPad Pro. And besides that way maybe you'd be recycling code anyways?

As per @Webmaster4o , @Moe and @TutorialDoctor, the App template is clearly what you want @psyFi.

But the idea of a runtime app is something I've actually been thinking about and I think there's value there.

@omz is there anyway to use the shared "app group" functionality of iOS as Pythonista2 and Pythonista3 do to allow either the template, or an ancillary app made by you to act as a dedicated testing app - no editing abilities, just a container to run the app. Perhaps you could specify which script to run in the global iOS settings, or from within Pythonista2/3. You could really quickly make edits in the main apps, and test in the ancillary app to get a close idea of how quickly your app launches without all the editor cruft etc, so it would be built from the template. You could even charge money for it, and it would (i assume) be a minimal amount of work for you to implement since most of it is already done in the form of the template!
And looking to the future - once the issues with split-screen multitasking are remedied by Apple, imagine being able to have pythonista2/3 on one half of the screen and the testing app on another - it would be like a real development workflow!!

Food for thought.

@ttobias said:

Hi,
I don't know if it has already been mentioned somewhere but it would be nice if the app shows that it's running a script via url "api".
If the app starts up and is not returning from a suspended state it just shows the initial screen and I am not sure if the script is running
The small indicator with the script name would be nice for the first start up

This is a wonderful idea. Also would be cool if when you tried to run a script while the other script is running, instead of just a modal dialog with one continue button if there was a button for "stop other script and run this one"

Or better yet ( I Don't have any idea of the technical feasibility of this) what if you could have multiple scripts running at the same time on entirely different threads with some sort of overhauled UI to make it clear how many and which scripts are running?

wouldn't PYSTA make more sense?

@Vertec @jonb @Webmaster4o @Phuket2 this is my go at it, what do you think?

UPDATE: streamlined the code a little bit by making there be discreet "active" and "inactive" players, with a currentActivePlayer.otherPlayer attribute pointing to the other player to get rid of some unnecessary conditionals.

@MichaelC basically after you install stash, force quit Pythonista, then to launch stash you run the newly installed "launch Stash" script, then from the Stash prompt you can do pip

Is there a way to print out how much memory your script is using?

I hadn't used stash in a while as well, trying to launch it made this:

Traceback (most recent call last):

Pythonista 301012 beta.

@aronchi one more thing. You can add this script to your app extension for Pythonista. If you have a raw text file hosted via a server, if you go to it in safari and run this extension on it, it will ask you to name the file and then download that text. I think you might need to manually create a "Downloads" folder in documents.

Disclaimer - I don't remember where I got this file. It might have been @ccc or @Webmaster4o or maybe @TutorialDoctor ...sorry!

Hey, also you could use Ivoah's webIDE
https://forum.omz-software.com/topic/2714/webide
https://github.com/Ivoah/WebIDE

Where are your 3 files stored?

Hi. There's a couple ways you can do this.

1.) Manually: Use Dropbox/some other tool to get the scripts on your iPad in any form. Copy the contents of each script, create a new script in Pythonista, name it as you'd like, and then paste the contents.

2.) DropBox sync: Use the dropboxsync.py script found elsewhere on this forum. You need to setup a Dropbox developer account and get a token. (I've been using the same version of that script that isn't perfect and has some problems with case, if anybody else knows what the latest greatest version of that script is please chime in)

3.) git / github : If you're familiar with using git/ github, you can create a repo in github. Then, install Stash (https://github.com/ywangd/stash), launch it, choose the directory and clone there using standard git commands.

Let us know if you have any questions.

@pacco Checking in, any word on proxies in Pythonista since we brought this up quite a while ago? Any Luck?

Oops. You're completely correct. I forgot I had installed that separately, using StaSh, pip install rauth.

Sorry.

At some point I started getting insecure platform warnings when requests was upgraded in Pythonista many many builds ago.

import rauth does not work in beta 300015. I believe it worked in the previous build, although I'm not sure. It definitely does work in Pythonista 2.

ImportError: No module named 'rauth'

Thanks @omz @jonb @dgelessus that did the trick...

Something to note: running through the levels in 0.1 increments, it appears the only actual discrete levels are 1.0,0.9,0.8, and 0.4, unless there are finer increments between 0.4 and 1.0 ....
