Hey friends!

Newish to Python and wondering if anyone has a preferred IPhone IDE they would recommend me. I would just be using it to work on some practice problems and play around with so it doesn’t have to be terribly robust.

Does anyone use Pythonista? Is it worth the 10 bucks?

Cheers!

You are developing FOR the Iphone, not ON the Iphone, right?

On the iPhone. But it just needs the basics, I’m hoping to do some practice problems during my downtime

I recommend Pythonista, which is a full IDE. You can buy it in the App Store.

I’m currently using [‎Python3 IDE Fresh Edition App - App Store](https://apps.apple.com/app/id1397406775) , the UI was written in Chinese with a mediocre English translation available but it has many free features with no external ads apart from a small banner showing their IDEs for other languages
