About Pythonista

Pythonista is a complete environment for writing and running Python scripts on an iPad or iPhone. Its editor has syntax highlighting, code completion, an outline view, tabs and an extended on-screen keyboard designed for Python, and an interactive prompt is a swipe away for quick experiments.

Beyond the standard library, it includes modules for native iOS features such as contacts, reminders, photos and location, plus libraries for 2D graphics, multitouch and sound. Many ready-to-run examples cover games, plotting, image manipulation, custom interfaces and automation.

Strengths

  • Runs Python locally on iPhone and iPad
  • Access to iOS features such as photos, contacts and location
  • Code completion and a Python-specific keyboard
  • Many included example scripts

Limitations

  • Available only on iOS and iPadOS
  • Focused on Python rather than general-purpose editing
