What do you use pythonista for?
-
I'm using it for learning python and simple data processing.
I'm curious about how other people are using it, and maybe get some ideas for new projects! -
Pythonista is also suitable for making simple 2D games, animations, and apps with ui. But there are several modules that are personal to Pythonista, there is a reference to them in the section "Pythonista modules". You can access it by tapping the question mark in the console.
Good luck with future concepts!

I used Pythonista to learn programming myself. So far I have used it for:
- Data processing
- Building personal apps
- Teaching programming
- Learning UI and UX design
I plan on exploring game development also. It is absolutely the best way to learn programming and what goes into making an app.

I'm using it for small projects, a playground to test learn more about python for larger project and also just to pass the time.
I use python ,and therefore pythonista, to solve simple math or CS problems I watch on YouTube or read on blogs for fun.In short , for all sorts of goals except large complicated problems. Then i like a proper keyboard and laptop/desktop.

I have a long-term natural language processing project that I've been working on for a while. Pythonista let me continue to work on it while I was on a month long cycle tour over the summer. (People thought I was mad when I pulled an iPad mini and a full-sized USB keyboard out of my luggage at the campsites, but it was much better than trying to transport even a netbook without damaging something.)
Until recently I was also using it for small classroom tasks (as a teacher), but then Apple went and broke it on me -- the latest update of iOS 9 messed up the text-to-speech interface, and I was using high quality voices to provide listening material for language classes. I wrapped the whole thing up in a keyboard controlled interface to play the whole thing, step through line by line, repeat lines, slow down/speed up etc. I was able to produce anything I wanted, tune it to the class in question, and walk around with a Bluetooth keyboard controlling it from everywhere in the class.
But iOS 9 won't get any more bug fixes (except serious security flaws) so now my most important use for the iPad mini (not iOS 10 compatible) is gone.Is there a decent Pythonista-like app for Android? I'm not sure I want to buy Apple again.

I use Pythonista, primarily to protype creative animations. Actually, I find that much more pleasant and productive than the Windows environment. The resulting code runs on both platforms by including some platform specific code (particularly PyGame and calls to ffmpeg).
-
I use it the same as another would do the cryptic crossword puzzles. A challenging hobby. One day, I would like to create something real for my friends that have small businesses, like a menu system or hotel booking system.
But I really love using Pythonista, no killer hardware could be released that I would buy/switch to if couldn't run Pythonista on it. -
I just start with python in last Aug. Im not so good from learning from Books so i start to make a small app for a table game. Im learning python to use later for a program Dynamo from Autodesk.
