I'm in a pickle. I wrote a script that downloaded a very large text file (sowpods.txt) and saved it locally. Then I opened that file to look at it, which caused Pythonista to freeze and then crash. Now whenever I try to open Pythonista it freezes at the launch screen and eventually crashes, presumably trying to open that large file again.

I tried to connect via iTunes to see if I could delete the problem file, but Pythonista doesn't appear in the apps list (Editorial does though).

How can I get rid of the problematic file so I can open Pythonista again?

Never mind, I figured out a way to escape my predicament. I just had to go to Safari and enter "pythonista://whatever" in order to launch Pythonista on a different file at startup. Problem solved :)

I wish this worked for me! I did the same thing, but launching pythonista via URL still crashes for me. :(

Tryhttp://pythonista3 with the 3 on the end.

@ccc That should be pythonista3://, without the http.
