Yeah, it takes a bit more but it's usable. Let's hope for some speed in the future :-)

@JosephBywater , yeah, was using the designer as a drawing tool.

Ugh. Thanks, though.

Right. I noticed this is how @omz did it in that MapView from a while back. I guess there's a different way to do it but not from Python. Thanks.

I think Flask tries to get the Content-Type correct, but I'm not sure if there's a header for forcing download. I'll look into it. 👍

Thanks @JonB I came up with a similar example a few hours before you: https://github.com/controversial/ui2/blob/master/ui2/view_classes/ProgressPathView.py

I should really report back here sooner when I find a solution.

I had found addSublayer_() in a StackOverflow answer and realized it was perfect ;)

Thanks @JonB! As @dgelessus said on Slack, i wad able to pass around that c_void_p even without ObjCInstance and it worked fine. The ObjCInstance trick looks good, though!

@omz Another quote highlighting issue: long bytes literals b""" and br""" are highlighted like short literals, i. e. they do not continue into the next line. (The closing triple quote is of course detected, which means that the rest of the file is highlighted as a long string literal.)

Example (bug obviously only visible in Pythonista):

# normal code b""" bytes data, highlighted as code """ # normal code again, highlighted as literal

fwiw,

A few things I have found that really help with customizing the editor/app and such:
https://github.com/jsbain/objc_hacks/blob/master/print_objc.py
prints the Instance and Class methods of a class, but not of its ancestors. really helps identify what is unique about custom classes (vs dir() which shows instance and inherited methods)

A lot of good stuff is exposed in PA2UniversalTextEditorViewController, which is what editor._get_editor_tab() returns. For instance, saveData, which can be swizzled. Also, @dgelessus, I think you mentioned you wanted the ability to launch a script with another interpreter version, this class seems to have that capability.

void runScriptAtPath_withInterpreterVersion_arguments_( object, int, object ) void runScriptAtPath_withInterpreterVersion_scriptForShebang_arguments_( object, int, object, object ) void runScriptWithNonDefaultPythonVersion( )

Also, editorView() on this object returns a view which you can addSubview_ to create your own overlays.

Also, I have experimented a bit with NSNotifications, which can be another interesting way to get callbacks for some things without swizzling. here is a class which captures all notifications types (by default excluding the various NS and UI notifications). For instance, changing from editor to console or vice versa posts a notification which can be observed and action taken.

I'll see what I can do.

If you set the individual view alpha's before pushing them, whatever is under the NavView shows through. The bg_color of the NavView acts like a layer between the pushed view and the background, so leave it set to 0,0,0,0

# coding: utf-8 import ui v=ui.ImageView(frame=(0,0,576,576)) v.image=ui.Image.named('test:Ruler') v2=ui.ImageView(frame=v.bounds) v2.image=ui.Image.named('test:Mandrill') n=ui.NavigationView(v2) n.frame=v.bounds v3=ui.ImageView(frame=v.bounds) v3.image=ui.Image.named('test:Lenna') v2.alpha=0.5 v3.alpha=0.5 n.push_view(v3) v.add_subview(n) v.present('sheet')

@JonB Yeah, this is what I do now. It's not convenient at all, though.

@Webmaster4o , maybe not what you are looking for, but couldn't you write an extra key out to the files. I assume they would be ignored by Pythonista

@dgelessus Thanks I'll make sure the setup files are deleted at the end.
