Black Mamba - releases

zrzka

Since I have no other way how to inform users about new Black Mamba features, I decided to create this topic. I will only post info about new releases here. Nothing else, to keep it short.

Do you want to discuss something? Please, use the other topic (quite long now) or create a new one.
Do you want to see something in Black Mamba? Please, file an issue.
You fixed something? Please, create pull request.

Thanks!

Black Mamba 0.0.14 released:

Since 0.0.14, the license was to changed to MIT
Seems no one does use PyPI for installation, .pyui files are now included :)
Comment line with # (hash space) instead of just # (#12)
Ctrl Tab (or Cmd Shift ]) selects next tab
Ctrl Shift Tab (or Cmd Shift [) selects previous tab
Cmd 1..9 selects specific tab

EXPERIMENTAL

Cmd U to run unit tests. Using pytest directly, because I'd like to add more unit tests features like - run unit tests for the whole package, file, test in a file, ... Works for the file now, but it has issues with some global states, reloading, ...

Black Mamba 0.0.15 released:

Fix HUD message when there're no tests in the file
Removed unreliable PyPI package installation option
Removed package from PyPI
Custom installer alla StaSh
Removed settings module (moved to respective modules)
Removed script_picker.py (merged to file_picker.py)
Updated pythonista_startup.py sample
Pythonista version compatibility check

Installation

If you have already Black Mamba installed, remove it. Then open console, issue ...

import requests as r; exec(r.get('http://bit.ly/get-blackmamba').text)

... and that's it. GitHub installation is not user friendly and PyPI doesn't work.

Breaking Changes

Check pythonista_startup.py sample how to configure Black Mamba a how to start it. You have to call main() and that's all you have to do. Minimum is:

import blackmamba as bm
bm.main()

Why?

There's compatibility check with Pythonista and Black Mamba refuses to start (unless forced) with newer versions of Pythonista.
There's auto check for updates (daily, configurable, can be disabled). You'll be just informed with alert for now (till I write real updater).

It's based on GitHub releases. These releases will be stable, master branch is not stable at all.

Black Mamba 0.0.16 released:

Allow to start Black Mamba even in untested version of Pythonista, just warn the user
Init messages are colored (orange=warn, red=error)
All print messages replaced with log.info (.error, .warn)
bm.log.level allows to set logging level (default INFO)
Do not bother user (mainly me) with alert about new version (just use console) in case the Black Mamba is not installed via installer (git for example)
Tested with latest Pythonista beta (3.1.1 - 311008), everything works as expected

You can install / update it with with:

import requests as r; exec(r.get('http://bit.ly/get-blackmamba').text)

@Phuket2 depends ... The only mandatory thing is to place GitHub's blackmamba folder into site-packages-3. That's it. The difference between git & installer is ...

git

master branch is not stable, it can brake things
can be workarounded by checkout of specific tag (v0.0.16, etc.)
it doesn't tell you that there's new version available

installer

stable releases
it does inform you about new releases automatically (I do store installed version info in the ~/Documents/site-packages-3/blackmamba/.release.json) and check for updates regularly (during Pythonista startup)
if there's a new version, you'll see iOS alert and then you can issue same command you did use for installation to update Black Mamba

You can look at updates.check for more details.

IMO installer is more friendly if you do not want to develop it, because I'm going to add updater as well.

I'll put PyPI back when it starts working, because this is the most preferred way of installation. Sadly it doesn't work.

Also, please, discuss in another topic, this is just for releases. See the first post. Thanks for understanding.

Black Mamba 0.0.18 released:

Installation command is copied to the clipboard when the alert about
new version is shown. Just open console and paste it.
system.Pythonista and system.iOS decorators to limit functions
execution under the specific Pythonista & iOS versions.
0.0.17 skipped, because this version was used for testing & fixing pip
Outline Quickly... (Cmd Shift L) introduced

Outline Quickly mimicks Pythonista outline (Cmd L), but allows node filtering. On the other side, it does not contain annotations (yet).

Would it be possible to put this stuff into https://github.com/zrzka/blackmamba/releases ?

As someone who does not use an external keyboard with Pythonista, I find much of this discussion to be off topic. Is it just me or do others agree?

zrzka

I do not use Xcode Template for example, I find much of it to be off topic for me. Others do use Xcode Template, they don't consider it off topic, they're reading it, participating, ... So, I simply don't read Xcode Template related threads.

I understand that this thread can be off topic for some people, but for some of them not. Just don't read it as I or others don't read Xcode Template topics.

P.S. I have nothing against Xcode Template, it's just an example :)

@ccc , i dont agree. I normally agree with you. Sorry, in this case I dont. @zrzka has put a lot of effort into this and it works great. For those who use ext keyboards, its a gift from god. There are many subjects in Pythonista i have no interest in, I just skip them. No disrespect to you, but i think this is a great project. It's easy to skip over if you are not into it.

Black Mamba 0.0.19 released:

Fixed unused import in action picker
Compatibility check with 3.1.1 (311009)
Introduced ide.scroll_to_line(line_number)
Ctrl L Jump to line... added
Cmd E to show Drag Provider (iOS 11 & iPad only)

What's the Drag Provider all about? See this video. You must have latest Working Copy beta, iOS beta and iPad. Otherwise it will not work for you.

using pip install blackmamba

and then run:

#!python3

import blackmamba as bm
bm.main()

Error:
ImportError: No module named 'httplib'

zrzka

@wolf71 unfortunately, there's no pip3 in StaSh and Black Mamba is Python 3 only. As a workaround, you have to:

pip remove blackmamba
pip install blackmamba -d ~/Documents/site-packages-3

And ...

#!python3

import blackmamba as bm
bm.main()

... must be placed in the ~/Documents/site-packages-3/pythonista_startup.py file. Hope that helps. If not, please file an issue with more details (like how did you install it, which version was installed, pip installation console log, Pythonista version, default interpreter, ...). Thanks.

And you have to use dev StaSh (selfupdate -f dev).

P.S. Note the -3 suffix in installation path / python startup file path. Also I tried to reproduce your issue, but no luck (even if I change interpreter, omit -d in the pip command, ...).

Black Mamba 0.0.21 released

Code cleanup (circular deps, ...)
Fixed analyzer where ignore_code=None means real None
Please, check sample pythonista_startup.py, breaking changes, sry
Config option to disable keyboard shortcuts registration

It's basically clean up release, because it was quickly written, there were lot of circular deps, ... Also configuration of Black Mamba is done via dict, not via modifying module variables. And option to disable keyboard shortcuts was introduced, because I'm planning to add stuff which is useful even without external keyboard.

How to update

Pythonista console

import requests as r; exec(r.get('http://bit.ly/get-blackmamba').text)`

pip

StaSh dev (selfupdate -f dev).

pip remove blackmamba
pip install blackmamba -d ~/Documents/site-packages-3

pip update doesn't honor -d from previous pip install command. Will file an issue and fix this.
