cclauss / tabsTo4Spaces.py
Created April 22, 2013 14:55
Simple Pythonista utility script that you need to put this Pythonista Actions menu. It goes though the script currently open in the Pythonista Editor, converting all tab characters ('\t') into four space characters.
# replace ALL tab characters with four spaces
import editor, sys
theText = editor.get_text()
theCount = theText.count('\t')
if not theText.count('\t'):
print('no tabs found.')
sys.exit()
theLength = len(theText)

Pythonista's canvas module's graphics origin (0, 0) is at the bottomLeft. "with flippedDisplay": will temporarily switch the graphics origin to be at the topLeft.

"""Save the canvas.gstate and then restore it when leaving the 'with' clause."""
canvas.save_gstate()

A gravity hack that uses Pythonista's scene.gravity() method to change screen colors when the user tilts their device. Red = abs(pitch), Green = abs(yaw), Blue = abs(roll)

Update: This looks like a far better solution... `console.set_idle_timer_disabled(flag)` Disable or enable the idle timer (which puts the device to sleep after a certain period of inactivity). -- Keep relaunching yourself to prevent your iOS device from falling asleep. Run, sleep 30 seconds, store state in argv (or a file), reboot self -- Repeat…

cclauss / sceneAndThread.py
Last active December 22, 2015 01:49
Pythonista's Scene module only wants a single scene to run so the last Scene that has had it's run() method called (either in the main thread or a child thread) will be the ONLY one to execute. All others will ignored. The scene will not get launched (i.e. it's setup() method called) until AFTER the main thread has completed.
import scene, threading, time
colorRed = scene.Color(1, 0, 0)
colorGreen = scene.Color(0, 1, 0)
colorBlue = scene.Color(0, 0, 1)
theColors = (colorRed, colorGreen, colorBlue)
greyLight = scene.Color(.7, .7, .7)
greyMedium = scene.Color(.5, .5, .5)
greyDark = scene.Color(.3, .3, .3)
