All code samples now have “Copy” and “Open in Editor” buttons attached to them for quickly trying out things you read about. There is a new “Using Pythonista” page that provides an illustrated overview of the UI. Text in the documentation is now hyphenated for better readability, especially on the iPhone.

- python - GUI button proformance in pythonista - Stack Overflow
Since I was testing without making a .pyui file (the file where you edit the actual GUI layout) I had to remove ui.loadview(). But this works and should give you a good starting point. The Pythonista UI Module can be tricky, but sticking with it is worth it :)
- Automating iOS: How Pythonista Changed My Workflow
Both views can be sorted by name or modified date; you can add scripts with a + button at the top and delete existing ones by tapping on the Edit button. A downside of Pythonista is that the Script Library doesn’t offer further organizational features to better sort your scripts. You can’t create folders, and it gets pretty confusing in snippet view; for the time being, I’m using list view, but it takes time to find scripts. I would definitely welcome an option to organize scripts by category or purpose. Due to restrictions imposed by Apple, Pythonista can’t have a sync feature to import executable code from external sources like Dropbox.
