jgoalby and cvp,
Many thanks for taking the time to answer my question, it is appreciated.
From both your replies, it appears that it is feasible to have portability.
I've just ordered a beginners book to get me started, so look forward to 'having a go'.
I'm sure I'll be submitting a few more post's as I progress in my endeavours to become acquainted with programming with Python etc.
Thanks again

Portability question from a 'newbie'
The last time I did any 'serious' programming was several years ago with VB6, but am wanting to get back into it again to keep the old grey cells awake in my 'later years' - (70+).
After installing and looking intoVB.NET
installed with Visual Studio 2019, and finding it a world away from the original VB6, one thing that always 'bugged' me was the restriction to being 'tied' to Windows etc.
So I felt that this may be a good opportunity to learn something that gives me that 'portability' across different platforms, particularly (but not limited to) Windows, Apple Mac OS, and iPads.
Hence I have installed this Pythonista on my iPad Pro, and I also have Windows 10 and Macbook machines.
Now for the question (I got there in the end) .... is there any way where the application source that is produced on one machine can be available across all the platforms (using Dropbox for example) to be able to progress the programming of the application on any of the othervmachines, mainly to try and prevent having to physically 'replicate' the code on each one.
Maybe some sort of an export/import facility or similar available,!
I am looking forward to 'dipping the toe' shortly, but just thought I'd register, and ask the question.
Any suggestions / answers will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Ryteker
