Pythonista is a comprehensive scripting environment specifically designed for Python 3.10. With its compatibility on iPad and iPhone, users can conveniently develop and execute Python scripts on the go.
Similar to Python itself, Pythonista emphasizes simplicity and convenience. It comes with a wide range of third-party modules such as requests, numpy, matplotlib, and pandas, as well as modules optimized for iOS. These modules grant your scripts access to various functionalities like sensor/location data, photo libraries, contacts, reminders, clipboard, and more. In this way, Pythonista empowers you to fully utilize the capabilities of both Python and iOS.
In terms of user experience, Pythonista boasts a user-friendly interface suitable for beginners and experienced coders alike. Additionally, the complete Python documentation is available offline within the app.
While Pythonista is an excellent resource for learning and practicing Python, it also shines as a powerful tool for automating iOS using multiple app extensions. Scripts can be easily invoked via the share sheet or a custom system keyboard in almost any app, seamlessly integrating with Shortcuts and Siri. This eliminates the hassle of switching between different applications when running your scripts.
The key features of Pythonista include:
- Powerful code editor with syntax highlighting, code completion, and scripting support
- Interactive prompt with code completion, command history, and image display capabilities
- Integrated visual debugger and object inspector
- Offline documentation that can be quickly accessed directly from the editor
- A variety of visually appealing light and dark themes, complete with a theme editor to customize your own
- UI editor for rapid prototyping
- Built-in PEP 8 style checker and code formatter
- Support for the majority of the Python standard library along with additional modules for graphics, sound, and iOS integration. Examples include clipboard, contacts, reminders, photos, and ui
- Inclusion of various popular third-party modules like requests, numpy, matplotlib, pandas, and Pillow
- A wide range of pre-existing code examples
- Universal app compatible with both iPad and iPhone
- Share sheet extension allowing scripts to be run from virtually any app
- A scriptable system-wide keyboard enabling Python usage in any text editing app
- Advanced integration with the Shortcuts app, enabling the use of Python scripts as actions in shortcuts and personal automations
Please keep in mind that Pythonista does not support the installation or download of additional modules written in compiled languages such as C/C++. Although numerous native libraries are included and function seamlessly, it is generally not possible to install additional modules that have C/C++ dependencies.
We would also like to note that we have received kind permission from the Python Software Foundation to use the name "Pythonista."
