IOS UI Controls

markbesley

Hi Ole, is there anyway you could expose the IOS UI controls? TechBASIC provides a fairly simple programming method to access the UI controls. Is it possible you to do something similar? Maybe better? Maybe simpler?

Yes, that would make Pythonista much,much more useful.
Now everyone (including myself) is trying to imitate the iPad UI controls, like toggles, radio buttons, (date)pickers, etc. with mixed success.
For me this would be number one on the list of feature requests for an upcoming release.

it would be great!

After NumPy support, this is my biggest request. Even just PyObjC support would be great: http://www.saurik.com/id/5

You can try Hydrogen to get some UI controls for your Pythonista project.

At least until Pythonista introduces native UIKit controls

Well, Hydrogen is a nice set of controls, but far from complete and also not really IOS look and feel.

I'm working on something like this...

Thank you Ole, I really appreciate the work you've put into Pythonista. It makes programming fun and useful on the iPad.
