I'm trying to move from XCODE to PYTHONISTA and I could use a hand finding a way (in PYTHONISTA) to do the equivalent of long tapping an email attachment, selecting my XCODE built app and processing the file with the app.

@rfausett
Long press on your email attachment,
Select Pythonista
Select your app
Shortest code

import appex,os,shutil
fil = appex.get_file_path() 
local_path = os.path.expanduser('~/Documents/')
shutil.copy(fil,local_path)

Hi,
Where can i get some of those pythonista extension like Import Any File or Import file from web?

Thanks,
David

@djorge Sorry but it's a copy of my own scripts icons.
I'll clean my script and put a copy here.

@djorge You'll find hereafter my cleaned "import any file", it uses a File_Picker module of omz, you can find it here
