Does Blink from App Store support python? #555

Closed frodeaa closed 6 years ago

frodeaa commented 6 years ago

I have tried to follow the instruction from https://github.com/blinksh/blink#packages but no success

I was looking to install awscli into blink, is that possible?

Hi @frodeaa,

No, app from App Store doesn't support python yet. You have to build it from Nicolas fork

frodeaa commented 6 years ago

ok, thanks

daftano commented 5 years ago

@yury Is that still current?

yury commented 5 years ago

Yep :(

jjarava commented 5 years ago

Is this still the case? Need to rebuild and install?

Any hope for a change in the near future or should I look into getting a developer cert etc...

If you do add Python support, I'd strongly prefer Python 3 over Python 2 (although I known that @holzschu wants Python 2 for mercurial).

jjarava commented 5 years ago

If python support is added to the “out of the box” (ie AppStore) version, I’d also somewhat prefer 3, but 2.7 is also better for me than having to compile and “side load” :)

why not both? 😋 I am looking for Python 3. If feasible to add both would be excellent as well as possibly a lot of extra work. So having to choose I'll second python3.

holzschu commented 5 years ago

So, to answer a few of the questions :

there is already an app on the AppStore that does Python3 (Pythonista). I understand that it's not as good as having python3 inside blink, but it's still a good alternative.
I originally couldn't make python3 and python2 run together in ios_system because all commands and variables were living in the same memory space. It could be worth re-testing now that we have frameworks.

jjarava commented 5 years ago

I’d like to give a +1 to Pythonista, it’s a great app.

In the topic of efforts, personally I believe it’d be more impactful to sort things so as the “App Store” version could ship with python and lua (having both would be unique AFAIK) than trying to shoehorn both 2.7 and 3 at the same time.

daftano commented 5 years ago

@holzschu I would focus any effort in adding Python 3, instead of delivering both versions.

Personally speaking only version 3 is relevant for me (and I'm upgrading inherited projects to 3 as well)

@jjarava For Lua, I made an app: https://develobile.com/luade/

ColdGrub1384 commented 5 years ago

@holzschu I managed to run Python 2 and Python 3 on LibTerm

holzschu commented 5 years ago

So, https://github.com/holzschu/python3_ios appears to be working (with subprocess, too). Since we're now using frameworks, it even coexists peacefully with python2, which is great. The only bad news is it needs OpenSSL 1.1. Available to all sideloaders.

any updates on Python support? can those of us without a Mac use this feature?
