I'm pleased to announce that Pythonista 1.4 is available now. It brings an all-new UI for iOS 7, new modules for contacts, geo-location and text-to-speech, Open in menu integration, an improved library view, and quite a lot more.

Federico Viticci has already written a great rundown of the most notable new features and improvements on MacStories:

You can also read the release notes for all the details:

Ha. In my thread 58 minutes ago I asked about the Open In menu. DEUS EX APPSTORE. :D

EDIT: Nope.

So I thought this was the answer. What I need to do is take a file IN Pythonista and Open In... another application. Files being visible in the sidebar is a nice step, but it needs the ability to take those files and Open In other apps that support them. Right now I have content in Pythonista that I can't get where it needs to go.

Nah, I'm sticking with the previous version. Even though it has new features I would like to use, I would rather not update because the new design is too painful to bear.

@RainmanNoodles You could try the console.quicklook() function, for some file types, the quicklook preview offers an option to open them in other apps.

@omz Nope, doesn't work. It works for some files, not others.

I'd like to see something like console.open_in() that triggers the document interaction controller for opening the specified file path in other apps. It would make this task a lot easier.

You could also name it console.open_uidocumentinteractioncontroller() but that seems unnecessarily wordy. :D

Also, since this thread is more about the 1.4 update, maybe use this thread for discussion on this particular problem.

@RainmanNoodles Something along the lines of console.open_in() would definitely make sense, I've put it on my todo list.

Thank you so much for 1.4! It fixed all of my problems. :-)

Thanks!
Very Good Updates! (^^

@omz

1. V1.4 using cmd+space switch ,but on IOS,this key is switch en/chinese, now on V1.4 I can't switch cn/english.so can you change this key to other?

2. When the bluetooth keyboard using. can disable the bottom 2 line?

@wolf71

1. Didn't realize this, I guess I need to change the shortcut then (or perhaps make it customizable).

2. Not possible right now, sorry.

@omz

1. Can using cmd+G (Go) .

@wolf71 cmd+G is probably not a good choice, it's commonly used for select next search result on OS X (and I might use it for that in Pythonista as well).

@omz

Can add the muti-lines comment function?

 select muti-lines ,and then cmd+/  to comment or discomment .

I wanted to say that wolf71 isn't the one struggling with the Cmd-Space shortcut. I have two keyboards set up (English and Russian), and I confirm that Pythonista intercepts the Cmd-Space shortcut, which otherwise switches between keyboards. The only workaround is to open the on-screen keyboard (via the Eject key on the Apple Wireless Keyboard), tap the Next Input Method button on the on-screen keyboard, and then hide the on-screen keyboard. (Version 1.4.)
