i'm wondering how to specify my dropbox folder (what is the path) using python in editorial so that i can get a list of files in that folder?

also is the ui module in editorial and pythonista the same? ie if i borrow ui code from pythonista community which is more active than editorial will it work in editorial? from what i can tell they're identical.

finally, it looks like editorial comes with a useful list of python modules to use but if for some reason i want to pip install something else not already included, is it possible and if so how?

thx

finally,

Dropbox list: there are a few workflows in the directory that'll probably help you here, but as a starter, you can use something like:

p = editor.get_path()
print(p)

...with a Dropbox file open in the editor to get the path.

UI module: I copied the stopwatch example from Pythonista into Editorial, no problems.

Installing modules: possible to an extent, but not as convenient as in Pythonista. See here: https://forum.omz-software.com/topic/3921/library-module-for-editorial-via-pythonista
