iOS 13

@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?

@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”

Are you getting a crash, or just module not found?

If it is a crash, try switching interpreter version (long press play button).

Are you using app store version?, Or latest beta?

Using iOS 13.1 on iPhone 8 and opening external file from Working Copy doesnt work anymore... wish I didnt update ☹️

eddo888

is omz still developing pythonista ?

@hmelino, if you need Working Copy access, @eddo888’s hint about syncing via iCloud is working fine for me, see the other recent thread for details. This is of course (hopefully) only a (temporary) workaround.

Hi, perhaps we should start a "go fund me" for @omz to continue their wonderful work on Pythonista. Now that Python is the most popular programming language on the planet and Pythonista is the best IDE for handhelds ever (better than IDLE on the desktop) it would make sence to get Pythonista back up the running list again.

I have noticed that "add to home screen" scripts consistently produce two instances of a graphic ui.

@djl see topic here

@eddo888 This is a very caring and friendly thoughtful idea of you but I don't think @omz needs a fund for further development. ;-) According to this sales stat https://sensortower.com/ios/us/omz-software/app/pythonista-3/1085978097/overview pythonista3 is currently generating 30K US$ income per month... At the moment @omz might be very busy with other things ... But I am very confident there will be further development by him ...

@mithrendal
You missed a K in the income: it's $ 30K ...

@BatCowl
I’m having the same issue with IOS shortcuts not passing arguments anymore. I just installed iPad 13.2.1. Noticed that the Pythonista “run script” has added a “with arguments”, but no arguments are passed.

@msperlin there is a workaround with open url command and url scheme of Pythonista.

having no response from @omz for a long time now, I’ve moved on to pyto
it has files/working copy integration, native pip install support and REPL, Sorry @omz, you snooze you loose.

Thanks for mentioning Pyto; I'm glad there's competition. It's less polished than Pythonista (right now) but has some exciting features. The native pip is so much easier than Stash.

And PyTo is open source, so even if the developer is not anymore supporting the product (like seems the case with Pythonista) others can continue the product (at least in theory).
