AppStore rule change

shaun-h

I just read this article, https://www.macstories.net/linked/apples-app-store-guidelines-now-allow-executable-code-in-educational-apps-and-developer-tools/

I am wondering will we be seeing a built in way to download code in Pythonista anytime soon?

Direct GitHub synchronisation? That would be a real game changer for Pythonista.

I don't think that I'll build a Git client into Pythonista, but I want to enable integration with third-party apps like Working Copy.

For now, I'm mostly working on iCloud sync.

Any chance you'll support the document picker as well? That'd allow integration with many apps, not just Working Copy (which works with document picker too).

It'd be awesome if both Pythonista and Editorial supported it. That'd solve my only workflow issue with them.

@omz I've been thinking about picking up Working Copy but not sure how well it works with Pythonista. If it had really solid integration I'd be perfectly happy for you to hand off the details of the git client implementation to them and keep your focus on actual Pythonista feature development and core platform service support such as iCloud sync. That's a perfectly reasonable line to take IMHO.

@simonh Working Copy works well, I'm using it and no problem. Anyway, you can do client sync (pull, commit, push) directly in the Pythonista if you're not affraid of shell. Just ...

  • Install StaSH
  • Launch StaSH by running launch_stash.py script
  • Copy your private SSH key into ~/$HOME/.ssh

... and you're ready to go :)

HTH,
