Welcome!
This is the community forum for my apps Pythonista and Editorial.
For individual support questions, you can also send an email. If you have a very short question or just want to say hello — I'm @olemoritz on Twitter.
There's already a programming app out with support for Bluetooth LE (techBASIC), and this seems like it could be a good feature for Pythonista.
Here's a site that describes communicating with a Bluetooth sensor on the iPad: http://www.byteworks.us/Byte_Works/Blog/Entries/2012/10/31_Controlling_the_TI_SensorTag_with_techBASIC.html
Wow, so performance on the Air is comparable to a 2.3 GHz Core2Duo -- impressive!
According the Computable blog the unlocked version was submitted by accident, so it's free for the next few days!
I actually just came here to mention Computable.
It's focused mainly on scientific computing, so there's clearly room for both apps. That said, I hope @omz can step up the competition and bring IPython to Pythonista soon :)
I believe all the included third-party modules should now support Python 3, so they should no longer be a hold up.
After NumPy support, this is my biggest request. Even just PyObjC support would be great: http://www.saurik.com/id/5
NumPy and Matplotlib are all but confirmed so far :)
With the upcoming NumPy/Matplotlib support, it'd be great to be able to collect and analyze data from BLE sensors.
@omz awesome news, can't wait for the next version. I know you're still working on it, but any idea when it might be released?
Once you get Matplotlib working properly, it'd be great if you could eventually add support for inline plotting, a la IPython. Actually a full IPython front-end would be awesome too.
I'm not the biggest fan of IAPs, but I think it's a better idea to charge $0.99 for extra packages that not everyone will use, instead of raising the entire cost of Pythonista. I think being cheaper than comparable apps is a good thing in some regards.
