Ask HN: Python on iPad
I'm teaching someone python and they only have an iPad. A quick search turned up Google Collab and Pythonista. What has your experience been using either one on iPad? Are there other options?
- HDMI_Cable 6y agoGoogle Colab is really good. I don't have an iPad, but it does work on there IIRC. It's more suited towards deep learning, but the notebooks are really good to teach python nonetheless.
- Jtsummers 6y agoNot on the iPad but I've had some success with Repl.it. It's used through the browser, and supports Python. It helps, as well, by permitting sharing of content between you and the student more directly (no need, at this stage, to figure out other code sharing mechanisms like git).
- machello13 6y agoPythonista is great but it hasn't been actively developed in a couple years, and I think pieces of it might be broken. But as long as you stay away from the UI-building aspect of it, it should be enough for what you need.
- mrfusion 6y agoWould it be possible to make a simple flash card app with it. Just to get something to pop up on the screen besides using the console.
- celias 6y agoThese apps include several common packages such as numpy, matplotlib, pandas, etc Pyto - a Python 3.8 IDE fo iPhone and iPad https://pyto.app https://pyto.app Carnets - standalone Jupiter notebook. Now with Python 3.9 https://twitter.com/carnets_jupyter https://twitter.com/carnets_jupyter I haven't used Juno or Juno Connect https://juno.sh https://juno.sh
- jdillaaa 6y agoPerhaps Blink Shell + an EC2 instance or a digital ocean droplet? You also get Vim and a full linux system. This is what I do
- xet7 6y agoWith PythonAnywhere https://www.pythonanywhere.com https://www.pythonanywhere.com and Web2Py http://www.web2py.com http://www.web2py.com you can develop at webbrowser.
