Hi,
I don't know if it has already been mentioned somewhere but it would be nice if the app shows that it's running a script via url "api".
If the app starts up and is not returning from a suspended state it just shows the initial screen and I am not sure if the script is running
The small indicator with the script name would be nice for the first start up

For me it's not the lack of updates of the app but the lack of communication from the developer.
The app works fine for me currently but there will be something in the future which breaks and I'm not sure if it will be fixed.
Even this forum, I wouldn't be surprised if from one day to the next it just goes offline, simply because no one is paying the bill any more or something breaks in the web stack and no one is there or willing to fix it.

@omz Would it be possible to add some basic Apple Watch support because Apple removed the Shortcuts app on the watch so there's currently no easy way to do some basic programmable stuff on the watch without Siri interaction, at least that I am aware off.

For example I have a shortcut which gets a json via a secret https url and formats the output nicely or another one which triggers same IoT actions.

It would be nice to do this with Pythonista.

General question: Does the TestFlight Beta override the installed app or is this separated?

@omz Thanks, sure no problem.
It's definitely a special use case.
If you can't convince Apple that's no major problem for me all around I'm very happy with the latest update.

@omz Thanks for the update, works great.
Could you check if it is possible fix Multicast Networking?

@ccc Makes sense, I changed it in the code if someone wants to use the code.
But the error is happening in the line above the while loop.

The .sendto(...) is already failing with the 'No route to host' error.
The script works fine if executed on a desktop, so I assume it might be related to the missing capability.

Hi,

I have a script to discover devices on the local network which seems to no longer work.

The error is:
ssdp_socket.sendto('\r\n'.join(msg).encode('ascii'), (dst, 1900))
OSError: [Errno 65] No route to host

I know this worked before but not sure when.
I just started using Pythonista again with the new beta.
Could it be that the beta does not have the Multicast Networking capability?

Minimal example:

import socket
import sys

dst = "239.255.255.250"
port = 1900

msg = [
    'M-SEARCH * HTTP/1.1',
    f'Host:{dst}:{port}' ,
    'ST:upnp:rootdevice',
    'Man:"ssdp:discover"',
    'MX:1',
    '']

ssdp_socket = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_DGRAM, socket.IPPROTO_UDP)
ssdp_socket.settimeout(10)
ssdp_socket.setsockopt(socket.SOL_SOCKET, socket.SO_BROADCAST, 1)
ssdp_socket.sendto('\r\n'.join(msg).encode('ascii'), (dst, port))

while True:
    try:
        data, addr = ssdp_socket.recvfrom(32*1024)
    except socket.timeout as e:
        print(f"{e = }")
        break
    print("[+] %s\n%s" % (addr, data.decode('ascii')))

(Edited based on @ccc suggestion)

Thanks
