New Beta for Pythonista 3.3

mikael

In the Testflight version, under External files, Open..., I can choose between ”Python/Text file” and ”Folder”. If I select folder, I still only see iCloud and ”On this Phone” folders, but no Working Copy repositories.

Am I missing something obvious?

I can see Working Copy and access folders in it (note: I use the Working Copy test flight version), so unsure as to why but I assume you can see Working Copy in the files app.

I don't use WorkingCopy but I see iCloud, On My iPad, my NAS ip and my Mac ip

@shaun-h, thanks. I had somehow lost Working Copy in Files. After I enabled it again there I can now open the repos directly in Pythonista – excellent!

Now, the open external folder also shows an usb Drive connected, and that is a very good news...

The idea is that I still need to finish a few things for the release (mostly app preview video etc.), but I wanted to ensure that users get access to the update a bit earlier because I can’t really foresee how smoothly app review etc. goes, and some people relied on features that were in previous betas, but not in 3.2.

@omz Welcome back and thanks for the future version. I'm sincerely more than happy that you feel better.

omz

@cvp Thank you!

@omz welcome back sir. Thank you for the update.

@jmv38 Thanks to you as well! :)

@omz thanks for the update!

Pythonista has been unbelievably helpful at my work, and continues to impress every day.

mikael

@omz, my sincere thanks to you, as well.

Pythonista and this incredible community have enabled me to keep up and develop my Python knowledge, squeezed in between a non-coding job and a busy family life.

I am not exaggerating when I say that that was the primary thing that enabled me to get a new job, starting a new career next month as a full-time senior Python developer.

Happy to see you @omz and the update!

@omz Glad to see you in the forums again :)

BTW, in the current beta, the keyboard.set_view() method still has TODO (also document custom view callbacks like kb_should_insert) as the documentation.

Oops, thanks!

That's amazing, congrats! :)

Dear @omz,

Welcome back! The fact that this forum has continued to be a lively place where regular members help others with their questions and regularly offer their code snippets as solutions to problems is a measure of the love and enthusiasm folks have for pythonista.

That too is amazing!

mithrendal

@Blanchot So true.

@mikael your new job colleagues will be very happy as they get a high skilled and very talented work mate with you!!! Wish you a happy time on your new journey.

With the latest Pythonista Beta v. 3.3 (330025), installed today, i.e. 20 Feb., 2020, I get the same crash in my App I got with the last Beta.

I tracked it down to the very first line of code that executes in my App! I commented out that line, and my App runs successfully.

That line is:

A great many lines of code are omitted both before and after the code snippet shown.

        # Prevent iPhone from going to sleep while this program runs.
        console.set_idle_timer_disabled(True)

        # Create an instance of a class that derives from ui.View.
        # <code-omitted>

If I comment out that one line of code, the program does not crash.

I am running that on an iPhone 6s running IOS 13.3.1

I'm having exactly same issue since updating to 3.3 earlier today. Commenting out the "console.set_idle_timer_disabled(True)" helps. iPhone 8 and 13.3.1. Phone reboot not help.

Thanks 👍
