Thanks for adding the follow up. I needed that.

Thanks for adding the follow up. I needed that.

I'll look into both.

Before I go too far down the learning curve, I am wondering if requests is the right module to do what I'm trying to do.

I'd like to pass a file (initially a text file, eventually a photo with metadata) generated thru Pythonista on iPad to a file server on a Linux machine. Is requests the right approach? And are there any examples of doing what I'm trying to do that might be out there?

I have the file creation software up and running but I don't have anything that I can do with it just yet.

Thanks!

Ok, so I suppose I have the option of running the Linux server as a file server or an HTML server since I'll be controlling the host. That being said, would you still recommend against requests? Another approach? Basically I want to use the iPad to create a file, pass it to the Linux, and have a different program on the Linux manipulate the file.

Nothing, huh? No way to do this?

I'm using the following to take a photo on an iPad:

myimage = photos.capture_image()

But that always accesses the iSight camera (the one on the back of the iPad). For the purposes of my program I'd like to access the other camera every time. I realize that the user can click the camera swap button, but I'd rather skip that step since the intent of the program is to take a photo of the user every time.

Suggestions?

Using the same method recommended to change text in a label (previous post), I am now trying to change an image based on a photo taken by the camera. The program tries, but returns a blank image to the UI. The image is definitely being taken, because I can display it to the console - just not in the ImageView image on the UI.

Here's the code:

v=ui.load_view('MyUI')

v.present('sheet')

@ui.in_background

def getimage():

…myimage=photos.capture_image()

…imageview1=v['imageview1']

…myimage = myimage.resize((50,50),Image.BILINEAR)

…imageview.image=ui.Image(myImage)

getimage()

But thanks for your response… I will eventually need to know how to make a PIL conversion too!

Oops, yes, you're correct. I had added this line in the def after posting the first time:

myimage = photos.get____image(raw____data=True)

Figured it out. Needed to modify the last line in the def to:

imageview1.image=ui.Image.from_data(myimage)

That worked.
