Report an issuePythonista 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.

Took me only 4 days of learning to code to find a bug. Print(f”””multi-line text”””) color formatting bug. If I can find one this quickly, I’m sure there are plenty of other bugs, and updating to 3.14 wouldn’t be terrible either.
The only reason I’m giving a 3 star is because occasionally it will crash when opening a folder for some reason and although that’s not to bad I feel that could cause me some problems when I dive deeper into coding. If this doesn’t affect me in the future I’ll change the review cause I have a feeling this will become a very important app for me.
The only reason I’m reading this for stars is because you should update more But overall, this is my most used app
Tying to load gTTY text to speech library, no way to do it.
Pythonista is basically a form of torture. I've you've ever used a sane working environment - and I'd include in that anything from a normal IDE to working on the command line with vi - then this thing seems like it's designed to be as painful as possible. The problem of building an IDE was solved decades ago. Software developers figured it out a long time ago. It doesn't consist of random UI elements that slide back and forth in the most counterintuitive way that seem designed to make work as hard as possible. Even the most basic tasks are made difficult. The editor itself is also a joke editor. I *have* written code successfully with Pythonista - which is why I give it 2 stars instead of 1 - but it almost reduced me to tears. Even trivial things are broken - like I'll tap or click on some text and the editor will focus on a completely different part of the code and I have to scroll back and search for where I was. On average, for every 2 or 3 keystrokes there'll be another 1 to fix the things that went wrong. Anyway, I'm currently trying to find the console. I know it's there, I've used it before. But this UI is like hide and seek and I'm losing my patience...
should the developer update this app to the newest python version?
Have been using for years. Over the last month or so it crashes when reactivating. Maybe it needs an update.
