Pythonista 3.3 App Store Release Notes • Support for dark mode on iOS 13 – you can now select separate themes for light/dark mode, and Pythonista will switch automatically between them. Switching between themes is also a bit faster now. • New custom keyboard ("PyKeys") for running scripts in any app with text input. Have a look at the sample scripts in the Examples/Keyboard folder for some ideas of what you can do with this. • Significantly improved support for external keyboards (more contextual shortcuts, arrow-key navigation almost everywhere…) • The outline (list of functions) in the editor can now be filtered -- just start typing if the keyboard is already active, or drag down the list to reveal the filter text field. The filter supports fuzzy matching, and you can enter line numbers as well. • Unified UI (and documentation) for creating script shortcuts in various places of iOS ("Shortcuts" option in the "wrench" menu). • New URL generator for easier inter-app automation (you can also use this with the Shortcuts app, but full Shortcuts support will come later). • Support for opening external folders using the system's file picker on iOS 13 (this was possible on iOS 12, but not easily discoverable). • Revamped `notifications` module with custom action buttons, support for attachments, location triggers, and more – see the new "Notification Quiz.py" sample code for a demo. The module also works in the share sheet extension now. • New "on device" option for speech recognition in the `speech` module (please note that this can be very slow though!) • New `location.render_map_snapshot()` function to generate an image from a location (see new "Satellite Image.py" sample code). • Console history is now persistent (you can clear it by tapping and holding the `^` button). • Various bugfixes for iOS 13 and new screen sizes, new sample code, documentation, and more – you can find the full release notes in the in-app documentation (which also supports multiple tabs now btw). Thanks for reading, and thanks for your patience with this release. It's not everything I'd like it to be (hello, Shortcuts app!), but there are still many new things to discover, and I hope you have a lot of fun with it!

• You can now sync your scripts via iCloud Drive, and open Python files from other apps. • Pythonista now uses Python 3.6. Among other things, this enables the use of f-strings for easier string formatting. • The "Convert Tabs" feature is now called "Reformat Code", and supports applying coding style guidelines, in addition to converting indentation. • Improved search in the script library and documentation. • Support for drag'n'drop in the script library (requires iOS 11). • Improved support for the iPhone X. • Unified tab bar UI on iPhone and iPad. • The Python interpreter is now built with IPv6 support (this should fix connectivity issues users were experiencing with some cellular providers). • Various bugfixes and minor improvements – please refer to the release notes page in the in-app documentation for details.

• The interactive console contains a new object inspector panel that allows you to view a list of all global variables and their attributes/members. Tap the (i) button to show or hide it. • The new Pythonista Today widget allows you to run a script in Notification Center (or on the home/lock screen). You can find more information in the `appex` module documentation, and various examples of widget scripts are available in the updated *Examples* folder. • Python 2 mode now uses Python 2.7.12 instead of 2.7.5. • When using the share sheet extension with a file input (e.g. sharing a Mail attachment), an additional "Import File" option is shown for non-Python files. • The `speech` module contains new functions for speech recognition, in addition to speech synthesis (iOS 10 only). • The `sound` module contains a new `Recorder` class for recording audio files from the microphone. `sound.play_effect` and `sound.Player` have also been improved to support stereo panning.
