So help me and tysm

Remember to:

• Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
• Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
• Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

:warning: Do not pip install anything that isn't related to your question, especially if asked to over DMs.

It's unlikely to exist a python ide that work on iPhone, and it's impossible to include all libraries as they would be more than your phone storage

[dense blaze]

they probably just mean all of the python standard library, which will probably not work on iphone either, so some things would be excluded

[brittle cipher]

Imo best bet is wasm from python

Running on browser

[odd merlin]

python 3.13 on my machine takes 50mb

The Python standard library has some notable omissions and restrictions on iOS. See the API availability guide for iOS for details.
source: https://docs.python.org/3/using/ios.html

[odd merlin]

so, saying it won't have enough space is quite wrong

[brittle cipher]

Without the specify of stdlib, it's quite correct, but assuming it is stdlib only, then you can put it in the phone storage

[dense blaze]

i think they ment all available libraries, like on pypi would be too much for the phone

[odd merlin]

no duh

that's not even a useful thing to mention

[dense blaze]

i think it was just an interpretation of "including all libraries"

possibly a misinterpretation of what OP ment by that

[odd merlin]

it's reasonable to assume stdlib, as that's what comes with python

[dense blaze]

agreed, that is how i interpreted it too

[brittle cipher]

I don't believe this is a argument thread on whether it's stdlib or not, so let just keep this clear:

• if it doesn't mean stdlib, it's not possible
• if it means stdlib, it's possible with some limitations

[odd merlin]

it's completely unreasonable to assume not stdlib, so let's move on

[dense blaze]

but i'm not aware of any free development and execution environment app for the iphone

[brittle cipher]

From previous people asking before with some checking, I don't think there are pay one either🤔

[dense blaze]

you might be right 🤷

[brittle cipher]

So imo best way is still wasm on browser

[dense blaze]

possibly 👍

[odd merlin]

does replit still have free code execution?

[dense blaze]

i think they do, at least with some limits

[odd merlin]

wow their site changed

[dense blaze]

oh

[brittle cipher]

Also replit won't be running on device , if running on device isn't a requirement, could also try GitHub code space? Idk how well it work on the small screen tho

[odd merlin]

nothing will work well on mobile, it's just about working at all

[brittle cipher]

I will try to see what would happen

It just load way too long for me for GitHub code space idk if it is even loading

Ok it is just slow

If you are fine with this, try GitHub codespace

[dense blaze]

agreed, but some people have nothing else then their phone
i even had users here quite a while ago that got angry when someone suggested them to getting a really old laptop or used raspberry pi for cheap and use that instead for coding, as that was unrealistic for some people in the world in certain situations

but a real keyboard and some more screen real estate really does help when writing code
