Hello
I’m using an iPad as a data logger. The Pythonista program works great. My internet not so much. I loose connection several times a day on everything connected to it.
My question is: how I get python to check if it’s connected and if not, reconnect? I’ve looked at a lot of posts across the Internet and nothing addresses this.
You can use objc_util to check your connection type.
from objc_util import *
NWPathEvaluator = ObjCClass('NWPathEvaluator')
connection = NWPathEvaluator.sharedDefaultEvaluator()
def isOnWifi():
info=connection.path()
if info.isExpensive():
#on cellular data
return False #Not on wifi
elif info.status() == 2:
#no connection
return False #Not on wifi
elif info.status() == 1:
#on wifi
return True #Wifi!
else:
return None #Unknown or Error
Will continue to see if there’s a way to retry a connection....
