Pros and cons of Pythonista app for iPhone and iPad
Pythonista app good for
If youre a passionate python hacker, this is the tool for you on the iPad, great python support, lots of libraries and an active community.
If youre not an experienced python hacker, a strong impetus to start using python to start enhance your iOs system. Happy scripting!
The best on the app store, would be perfect if it could support scipy.
Pythonista has allowed me to introduce myself to the Python programming language.
This is not some "toy" environment to try Python out. I can actually write useful Python scripts that can improve workflows and automate some of my mundane tasks.
And Pythonista keeps getting better with each release.
This app provides a professional grade integrated development environment for Python programmers. It is easy to use and great for anyone who wants to start programming in Python because it includes popular Python libraries. I love this app because it gives me the freedom to program on the go using a light small iPad instead of larger laptops. I wrote a program that is a couple of thousand lines long and it ran like a charm. The only downside is the file transfer. There is no iTunes file import/export for some reason. This is quite annoying. I am hoping that the developers will listen to users and add this option. Overall, I highly recommend this app.
I think there are no words to describe how wonderful this application is. Ita full-fledged IDE with oodles of capacity. Im not a CS pro but this application allows me to stay updated with my practice when theres no desktop computer around.
I guess all mobile developers should view this application as an ideal they should reach.
100 out of 100!
The best mobile IDE and compiler in one app! Wonderful UI and it is just gratefully to work here! 5 stars, no less!
Some bad moments
Cant open python script from google drive.
What good is a ipad editor if you cant open files from cloud storage?
Bought item. Item was updated. My purchase has disappeared from iTunes and iPad.
Wants MORE money.
Travel back in time and see what life was like in days of Python 2. Or skip this one for an app that actually runs Python 3.
lots of announcements there on the homepage but...
no update coming for over 14 months!!!
no barcode reading functionality.
no ios calendar access.
hm?
