I think a very substantial portion of the Python users use the language because you do not need a 'completely GUI-driven [...] IDE'. So while a market might be there it stands to question if it is that big.

I think most users are quite happy with a text editor with some IDE-ish features like the Pythonista editor. The sucess stories of modern editors like sublime text or Atom could be viewed as a proof for such a theory. Especially sublime text is incredibly successful (there are several studies/list on IDE usage).

You can import any file type into pythonista, you have just to press the share button in your source app, then select pythonista and then import file.

This is how it should look like/ where the button should be.

It is a bit unclear to me what you are trying to do.

• An ui.NavigationView is just a (weirdly named) StackPanel
• You cannot present an instance of a view twice. If you do present your main_view you cannot add it to the nav_view and present it again.
• You can however present as many views as you want alongside (views are always modal though).

edit: You can present an instance of a view multiple times as a popover (popovers behave it a bit weirdly). Also nothing should crash if you try to present a view twice. You should just get an exception informing you that the view is already being presented. So if your code is crashing for you, you should probably provide a more extensive code example.

Your code should look something like this:

import ui

some_view = ui.View()
nav_view = ui.NavigationView(some_view)
nav_view.present('popover')

Hi, then, this not what can I do?...

Depends on your definition of this. You cannot set the background color but you can set the text color and font. Just follow the link provided by @ccc or use the Pythonista documentation and look up the console module.

Hi,

the short and probably most useful answer is : 'No, you cannot.' The longer answer is : Pythonista does not allow custom virtual keyboard shortcuts at the moment. It is however possible to register shortcuts for physical keyboards programmatically - with some limitations/problems (for details see [1]). You can also head over to the recent Python 3.6 and A better keyboard threads where you will find partially a discussion on the very thing you want to do. @omz said he might consider it, but as always things are mostly tied to demand, so if you want to see some virtual keyboard customization you might want to express your whishes there (or more officially on github).

console.write_link is function of Pythonistas proprietary console module. You cannot reproduce that behaviour with a standard CPython (aka normal Python) installation since desktop shells usually do not support mouse interaction and therefore there is no such functionallity in CPython. However you can use a different Python platform on your desktop computer. IPython [1] is a very popular Python platform that has an interactive shell. IPython runs in the browser on a platform called Jupyter, so you could run IPython everywhere - on your iPad or iPhone for example.

Your CheckerBoard class is sitting at position=parent.bounds.center(), so I do not understand what you do mean with 'is not placed at the 0, 0 pixel', it seems to be working as intended expected. If you want the board to sit whithin screen bounds you have to choose your Board center somewhere in the lower left corner.

Sound mysterious, I am using both using numpy and matlotlib quite regularly. The only things I can say are:

• The polar plot example runs fine for me in both Python enviroments.
• What you told us about the exception is a bit confusing since neither numpy nor matplotlib have an init.py file afaik (they have both multiple __init__.py files though) edit: I just realized that you were probably only struggling with the forums markdown interface since your init.py is printed bold (you have to escape the first two underscores: \_\_init__.py).
• The polar plot example does not import anything from numpy.random and neither does matplotlib.pyplot.

I cannot think of anything obvious, I think you will have to describe more precisely (actually copy and paste the full trace of the exception) what you are doing and what is going wrong.

@omz

Jeah, I did not state that very clearly. Was I meant was that since they forbid using deprecated methods the (kinda) opposite - future imports - are also not a good idea as mixing versions goes against the zen-priniciple concise and clear.

edit: And what is common is IMHO not an indicator of what is good. People also use cryptic bit shifts, overly complex list comprehensions, etc. all over the place and they are also not good.

But that is just my opinion. But you are right there are cases where you need future.
