iOS 13

mikael

Would appreciate hearing from people who install the gold master version of iOS 13 - what is the impact on Pythonista?

RomSpy

It works just fine.

mikael

@RomSpy, thanks! Specifically, can you verify that opening external folders works? I am most interested in repositories from Working Copy.

upwart

That's good news.
Does this also hold for the soon to be released iPadOS?

RomSpy

@mikael I use iCloud and that works well. I do not use Working Copy so I cannot say if it works or not.

@upwart Pythonista works well on iPadOS as well. There were growing pains with access to iCloud Drive but that all seems to have been resolved.

the one thing i noticed is that the open external folders/files is broken

eddo888

@eddo888 this issue is in other apps as well so is not related to pythonista must be in the ios

@eddo888 For me, iPhone 8 iOS 13/3, open external files works.

@pavlinb Try external folder.

I tried the regular appstore version of pythonista and the regular iOS13 and external folders from workingcopy where not selectable. Worse yet previously existing folders from working copy where no longer visible in pythonista.

Not tested the beta version of pythonista. Maybe it fixes the external folder reference ?

if not I hope iOS13.1 is going to fix this...

pavlinb

@timtim I have no such option, only external files.

mithrendal

@pavlinb upon opening external files in pythonista a file dialog pops up. You navigate to the source folder you like to open. Then you have to click on "select"(or whatever it is in your language) in the upper right corner. Then normal under normal circumstances the folders are now selectabe, that means you can choose one by touching (if not choosen an empty circle, if choosen a filled circle). If you now did this, the formerly "select" in the upper right corner changes to "open". When you click now "open" then you opened the complete folder from another app (e.g. working copy) in pythonista.

What I expirienced is that it there are problems in displaying the circles on the folder icons... Don't know yet who is to blame for it iOS13.0 or the regular pythonista.

still to test 13.1 and pythonista beta....

pavlinb

@mithrendal I open folders ( from iCloud drive f.e.) simply by clicking on it. Then it opens and if there are compatible files i can open in Pythonista.

Hi @pavlinb

thanks for testing... ;-) I have to precise the test case

test case1: opening a single file located in an folder of another app via apples document picker (this works)
test case2: opening a folder located in another app via apples document picker (does it work ?)

I bet test case2 is what @mikael means with

"Specifically, can you verify that opening external folders works? "

the difference is:
in case1 as a result you see a single file in pythonista, you can edit it and it will be saved in the "providing" app (for example iclouddrive or workingcopy)

in case2 as a result you should see in pythonista a folder with (typically) a bunch of files and subfolders in it. You can run them, edit them and changes will be saved in the "providing" app (for example iclouddrive or workingcopy (which is a git client))

@mithrendal Same here. Tried again.

mikael

@mithrendal, seems this is a security feature, not a bug. @omz should provide a separate option to open a folder, as described here.

Pending @omz doing something, maybe we could create a folder picker with objc.

I have not been able to pass any arguments to a script via Apple Shortcuts. I’m using the Pythonista extension action Run Script, but it no longer seems to work. These are Shortcuts I wrote before iOS 13 which the update broke. Now, even if I pass a variable into the “with arguments” section of the action, Pythonista is only getting one argument (which is the script name). Has anyone else had issues with this, or found a fix?

SmartGoat

@RomSpy does the new multiple instances functionality of iPad OS works nicely with Pythonista ? It would be amazing to have 2 scripts opened in split screen !

Bummer!! I can’t use repos in Working Copy easily now. Where are you, omz?

After update to ipadOS 13.1, I could not import matplotlib.pyplot. I could do this back in ios12.
My command is “import matplotlib.pyplot as plt”
