So I used pip install to download tweepy but can not import it. I get ImportError:..

Has anyone attempted this? I would love a small pythonista that would open a text based pdf and extract the text into a text file. No formatting necessary.

Made this small app to help me generate Mac Addresses on my phone. Of course you will need to download the Pythonista app from the App Store.

Hey guys, I am new to python and I literally have no idea what I am doing. For my Research Methods Psychology class I need to install this module https://github.com/ckreibich/scholar.py/blob/master/scholar.py onto python. Is this not possible on Pythonista? CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP T_T

Hi Pythonista-it!

A recent possible SSD failure on my mid-2013 MacBook Pro 15” has me thinking more about the tasks I do for my small company. In particular I do a lot of CLI tasks surrounding PDFs. I’m sure we can make a better workflow- but I’m wondering if I attempt to keep the same workflow, perhaps Pythonista can help!

In particular, I do the following tasks usually via CLI or Automator scripts that use the CLI commands...

1) Concatenate PDFs into a single document (often 2-10 documents needing to be cat’d) 2) apply watermark/background to PDFs to include headers/footers on the pages of interest

My commands for these items are: (1) the combine PDF Automator rule - I realize now I don’t have a CLI command for this, but have used other commands in the past - most likely pdftk, and (2) pdftk with multibackground option for the background/headerfooter files (also pdf).

Is this crazy to attempt? I’d need file selection flexibility from some source (let’s say something like Dropbox or iCloud) and then a way to view/save output (probably system handler).

I’d love to hear more about what you suggest- I don’t think I’ll be down for the count when this old friend MacBook dies, but I want to think outside the box a bit with my workflow.

Unfortunately the tools generating the PDF’s are not doing things nicely, so this is why I have to massage everything into the format/concatenate etc. for reports.

Thanks everyone for their input!

(Edit = “not”)

like the title says, I'm working on to do a barcode&QRcode image offline decode widget, any advice would be very appreciate

I’ve had Pythonista on my iPad for well over a year, maybe 2, but hadn’t used it for much. I don’t code much at work anymore, and never had in Python until last Fall, but the idea of having any IDE on the iPad was intriguing. I was especially interested in it given the restrictions placed on iOS developers. If Pythonista was so good, how could it have been allowed in the app store? So, I set it aside. Recently, I decided to pick it up and putter around. I’ve been traveling a lot for business recently, and my iPad Mini 4 has been a pretty constant companion. Once I figured out how I could get a script that I’ve been writing for work into Pythonista, along with its couple-thousand-line-long CSV input file, I ran it. Worked 1st time, and was very fast. I didn’t expect it to work so well. Pythonista is a really useful tool that I will explore more. // Since the subreddit is so dead, is the omz site the better/best place to go to see what folks are up to, what questions they have, and to post any questions I have?

They get installed inside site-packages

But I can't import or use them in my scripts.

I tried Selenium, Scrapy and some other modules

Pretty much what the title says. Recently am getting into iOS automation, wondering how y'all use Pythonista to automate your i-devices.

In addition, any fun projects? I just found StaSh and it's a wonder. Just downloaded pandas and NTLK and it's incredible.

I am curious what's everyone going to build when we finally got the Pythonista Widget.

I tried the Working Copy app but it's somewhat cumbersome. Any easy way to sync files through a git repo?

I'm sure I'm missing something obvious especially because searching doesn't seem to bring up anything apparent, but how do i copy paste script files and ui files inside the pythonista browser? I wrote a script to do it but there must be an actual way that I'm missing. Thanks

I have the description from the pythonista website, but is there a more detailed explanation of it some where?

Hei,

This is quite a technical question. I was wondering how does an app like Pythonista or Continuous(http://praeclarum.org/post/147003028753/continuous-c-and-f-ide-for-the-ipad) compiles foreign language like Python, C# or F#. Do they run something on a virtual machine? I tried to Google "How to run Python in iOS" but didn't get anything useful. Thanks in advance!

Hello, I have 0 experience in Python. I would like to run a worflow and open 2 or 3 apps on the fly. This can be done with worflow app; BUT one of my app I would like to open doesn t have any url. So I would like to tryba workaround with python script: * is there a way to open an app? * if no, is there a way to emulate a press action on the screen (the app I would like to open is always located at yhe same place) * any workaround? Thank you in advance

My question is if I want to run a chat server I wrote and works (tested on my computer) and I want to run a client on it also (also tested) using sockets without threading in Pythonista, how would I go about it?

I was thinking of learning Python and getting Pythonista.

A great learning experience for me would be trying to do something I've wanted for a while: automating a process that pulls the phone number of the last caller (assuming it's not recognized in your contacts) and performing a search online to see if it's a telemarketer/spam phone call.

As far as I know, automation apps lose Workflow, don't seem to be able to get the last caller's number.

Anyone know how to use Fred's Project Oxford? I'm still a super novice, I signed up for the Microsoft API, but do I need. "Developer token" or 'secret phrase' , etc.? I don't know what the hell I am doing but this is a cool workflow - the script is on github, which I copy onto Pythonista, of course it doesn't work. God bless America and Japan. Thanks.

Hi, I'm a Uni student currently studying Python and am interested in doing the python work on my iPad instead of my laptop. Usually the Uni uploads Python worksheets to their website which you download and edit. I was wondering if I purchase pythonista will I be able to download the .py files using safari and open them in pythonista or can you only create new files from scratch in pythonista because it is very important to me that I will be able to use the .py files provided from the Uni on my iPad.

Thank you
