User Reviews for Pythonista 3

Really good Python IDE

I love this, it has exceeded my expectations for sure! So far it has been able to do everything that I have thrown at it from my computer science course.There is only one minor annoyance though - I don’t like the fact that it keeps popping up the on-screen keyboard whenever I am trying to type. The on-screen keyboard gets in the way of the typing area and I cannot see what I am doing (I am using a Bluetooth keyboard) The only way I can see getting around this is to make the keyboard float and then drag it off to the side. This workaround does work but it is a hassle to have to do this every time.UPDATE: THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR FIXING MY ISSUE!!! <3

First time I enjoyed programming on my phone 📱 ❤️

Every time I’ve tried programming on my phone (Lisp, JavaScript, Ruby) it has been limited, frustrating and bad enough that I was convinced programming on a phone would always be terrible.Recently I needed to flip an image vertically, and I thought of PIL, so I found Pythonista in the App Store. Once I realized it hooked into iOS APIs, I bought it, and was not disappointed.I’ve used appex for receiving images from the Photos app, and PIL to manipulate them, and I’ve used location and motion to make use of GPS and accelerometer data, I love this app!

Insanely Incredible Tool!

This is coming from someone who has been using a MacBook Pro for programming as a main source, and have been using PyCharm previously and also Sublime Text 3 as a text editor. I didn't have too high of hopes for an IDE for mobile (iPad and iPhone) but I clearly changed my opinion. This was the best $10 I have ever spent in my life. It is an amazing tool with so many good features, and a very nice user interface for professional users and even people who are just starting out or hobbyists. I would recommend this application to any person I know, and I would get them to start programming on Pythonista. The lovely thing about this is that you can take it literally everywhere, now that iPhones are in almost every pocket these days, and I think people should take advantage of it and get this app. I <3 the creators of Pythonista!!!

A Python IDE for iOS

Truly a remarkable app with amazing capabilities!As a part-time mobile app developer, full time tinkerer, I write a lot of mobile apps for myself. This used to require a paid developer account and competency in various languages and supporting tools. For myself, most of this madness has been replaced with Pythonista programs. Amongst many features, you get a theme-able editor with syntax highlighting, auto-complete and a built-in debugger, a REPL, and a UI builder. Add the community-developed shell, StaSh, and you get a basic terminal with pip to pull dependencies for your programs. With action sheet support it is trivial to create programs that integrate seamlessly with other iOS apps. Works great with repository management apps like Working Copy.

Abandoned, or at least, neglected.

Note: The low rating is to get the developer’s attention, and send a red flag to others who might by the app and be disappointed by its current state.Pythonista could potentially be the most useful, powerful app available for developers from the App Store. That’s not an exaggeration, and the potential also increases dramatically when you consider what could be done with Shortcuts integration. Overall, the app is incredibly made and very well integrated with iOS and it’s UI heuristics. At least... it *was,* and that’s the issue.The developer is AWOL, and we haven’t seen an update since the beginning of 2018, not has there been any activity on his GitHub issue tracker. Major opportunities for functional improvement, and minor bugs are popping up, due to the lack of adoption of the most recent iOS SDK’s features and API changes. This is a situation that will only get worse over time.

I love Pythonista BUT

I don’t know how to report issues so I’m gonna use this. I just wanna let the devs know that Python crashes when I rename a specific folder. The folder I am renaming contains several other folders & over 10 empty text field scripts for typing / writing information that is not a script file for making scripts & stuff. But yeah, so it crashes when I rename that folder but doesn’t crash when renaming other folders. Just the one. It’s in “This iPhone > Definitions” Definitions is the folder I am renaming. It contains 4 other folders. It is Renaming the folder just freezes up when I press “Rename” after typing the name I want it to be.Other than that I love python & I’m such a noob I’ve been trying to learn for years now but I can’t get past the simplest small scripts like math & printing words. There is a lot of things it just becomes a blur. I suppose if I had better memory then I could be further along than currently.Thank you

Transformed how I use my iPad

Just picked this up a few days ago to explore and found it to be a blast! Making custom UIs working with pandas data reading/writing json. Quick to learn and great documentation. It is really opening up a space for me to use my iPad in new creative ways - thank you!Question: If I wanted to take a directory with my scripts and resources and bundle the current Pythonistas tool inside my own App for distribution on the App Store --- is this doable? I found some templates for Python 2 but have not found much information yet on building and distributing your own apps with Pythonista.

Excellent tool for on the go Python

I usually don’t write reviews, but I felt compelled to for this gem of an app. I regularly program on the side for fun and automation. I’ve used Pythonista to automate tasks on my phone, prototype programs for my Windows and Linux computers, and built silly games to play for fun. I’ve used Python at work to drastically speed up our workflows by several hours, which has been a life saver and even garnered me a raise. Not only was Pythonista an indispensable tool for prototyping those programs, but it has allowed me the opportunity to improve my skills on the go. There are some limitations I wish didn’t exist, but this is because of Apple, not the developers. The developers have gone above and beyond to implement extra libraries and integrate Pythonista with iOS. If you’re looking for a good iOS Python app or want to learn Python on the go, I highly recommend this app!

Amazing app but minor problem (EDIT)

As a beginner python programmer, this app is the holy grail in terms of coding with python on the go. Very easy to use and there is no lag or slow saving. I am having a minor problem however. Whenever I move a coding document to the iCloud section on my iPad, it does not seem to sync with my iPhone. This may be my mistake but i cannot find anything online to help so a developer response would be greatly appreciated(EDIT)Major mistake on my part, I simply was not allowing the app to fully refresh. Great app, definitely a must buy for any python programmer

This App Got Me Into Programming

I started using this app when I was 12 on my iPad that I had as a kid. The app is amazing, and has custom modules that let you control your device and create custom apps and such. It’s got UI modules, full access to documentation, and all the normal python modules. Even better, it works entirely offline. This app singlehandly allowed me to program things when and where I wanted, and allowed me to become a skilled programmer getting a degree in computer science. As far as mobile IDEs go, it’s the absolute best. In addition, there’s a community that creates tons of incredible programs that enhance the IDE, such as GitHub support, and even a fully functional bash terminal complete with pip so that you can install your own custom modules. It really is the best app on iOS for programming, and I would recommend it to anybody looking to try out programming. It’s well worth it’s price tag.

Description

Pythonista is a complete scripting environment for Python 3.10, running right on your iPad or iPhone, so you can develop and run Python scripts on the go. Like Python itself, "batteries are included" – from popular third-party modules like requests, numpy, matplotlib, pandas (and many more) to modules that are tailor-made for iOS. With Pythonista, your scripts can access sensor/location data, your photo library, contacts, reminders, the clipboard, and more, allowing you to harness the full potential of both Python and iOS.

Pythonista is designed with a user-friendly interface that makes it easy for anyone to get started with coding, regardless of skill level. The complete Python documentation is also available for offline reading in the app. Pythonista is not just for learning and practicing Python – it's also a powerful tool for automating iOS with multiple app extensions. You can invoke scripts directly from the share sheet or a custom system keyboard in almost any app, and integrate scripts with Shortcuts and Siri. With Pythonista, it's easy to run your scripts whenever you need them, without having to switch between different apps. Features: > Powerful code editor with syntax highlighting, code completion, and scripting support > Interactive prompt with code completion, command history, and support for showing images > Integrated visual debugger and object inspector > Complete offline documentation with quick lookup directly from the editor > Various beautiful light and dark color themes, and a theme editor to make your own > UI editor for quick prototyping > Integrated PEP 8 style checker and code formatter > Supports most of the Python standard library and additional modules for graphics, sound, and iOS integration (for example clipboard, contacts, reminders, photos, ui...) > Many popular third-party modules included, for example requests, numpy, matplotlib, pandas, Pillow... > Lots of included examples > Universal app for iPad and iPhone > Share sheet extension for running scripts from almost any app > Scriptable system-wide keyboard to use Python in any app that edits text > Advanced integration with the Shortcuts app, allowing you to use Python scripts as actions in shortcuts and personal automations. Please note that Pythonista is not designed to enable the installation or download of additional modules written in compiled languages (C/C++). While many popular native libraries are included and work out-of-the-box, it is generally not possible to install additional modules with C/C++ dependencies. The name "Pythonista" is used with kind permission from the Python Software Foundation.
