iOS 13

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.

@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).

Who knows enough Swift to give Pyto a UI facelift (look-and-feel + usability) so that it is as slick as Pythonista? Pyto already runs Python 3.8 and has updated modules and the full data science tools built in but it needs UI love.
