Simply a joy

Great fun. Makes iPhone a real computer.

Awesome APP - a must have for Python users of all levels

I've tried various mobile IDEs for various languages and I have to say Pythonista takes the cake! With every release it gets better and better. It's actually perfect even for beginners with all the sample content it brings. I use it for custom utility apps and it works every time. Great job and keep up the good work!

A wonderful idea with terribly outdated libraries

I wish I could give this app a higher rating and a better review. Unfortunately, some of these libraries included with the core application are over 5 years old! As it is, its not worth $10.

Great app for iPad Pro

Holagogo

Writing code with this app is great. This app makes the iPad Pro an excellent device to write Python code on the go. The interface is intuitive and it comes with some external Python modules. Intellisense is awesome and the ability to create reusable snippets is my favorite feature. The developers made an outstanding app!

Just perfect

This is an amazing application. It requires literally nothing from the user to quickly edit and execute scripts. All imports are automatically configured and the navigation of the UI is simplistic and intuitive.

Just what I wanted ... a complete IDE

I am astounded at the depth of the Pythonista IDE. I have an iPad Pro and a keyboard and I was able to program a 2D game while sitting on my couch. In no time, I was using sound, touch, motion and gestures and had a fairly reasonable UI cobbled together. I even built an ‘asyncio’ based event loop and felt like it was pretty sophisticated for something whipped up in a few hours. Given some of the iPad’s limitations, probably not the best IDE for serious development, but definitely much more than just a toy. I need to do a little more research on how to effectively do source code control, for example, because a few times I accidentally edited a file without noticing and then it was hard to figure out how to repair it. This never happens on my desktop because I can just go to the previous version in source code control. The standard library implementation meant that I was able to port over a lot of code that I had written on my desktop and it worked immediately! I had a game engine that I had written to be independent of the UI, and it ported over easily. That was a huge timesaver. I just had to figure out how to wrap a touch based UI onto it. It was a little awkward figuring out how to get the files over, but that isn’t the apps fault, that is the nature of IOS. I used a zip file that I placed on Google Drive and it was pretty straightforward after that. I used the “iCloud” folder and my app runs equally well on my iPhone 8. I even fixed a few bugs over lunch using only my Phone, but I wouldn’t recommend doing too much coding without a keyboard. For a Python programming looking to write code on an IOS device, I can’t imaging a better environment. Definitely happy with my purchase.

Amazing app but minor problem (EDIT)

TEH epic sauce

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
