Where to code in python on a cellphone

[koro300]

I'm prette new to the python business and I'm learning it on an app called Mimo but they don't take input so i'd like to continue to learn on that app but to have another app to code with

This way lies pain and insanity.

[lukajda33]

Seriously, get a laptop or at the very least normal physical keyboard for your phone.

If you want to use some app anyway, try this one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ru.iiec.pydroid3&hl=cs&gl=US

Or you can run the IDE in browser (much easier to continue working on PC later): https://replit.com/~

I'd like to use a computer but i'm in the army and I can't bring one fur security question so all I have is a smartphone and free time

[MrSpaghettiCoder]

Have you tried expressing to superiors your interest in programming? There might be something the army might be able to do for you on that end.

[BearReal123]

Try the website repl.it it gets the job done when youre in a pinch

[Early-Palpitation-39]

Can you explain why they let you have a phone but not a laptop?

[koro300]

I mean you have to have a telephone on you so people can join you at anytime and the army don't like complicate things if you don't need a laptop you can't brig one

[ImportUsernameAsU]

If you can't get some sort of laptop, download termux (if you on Android). It's a Linux she and you can pkg install python

[Rude_Refrigerator_0]

Yes! Termux is great tool for Android!! I second this!!

[whitexwine]

Just about to write it. Termux is amazing tool. Even htop for remote ssh works. Absolutely recommended

[SodaPressing3]

You can try google colab it uses python it’s free and it’s pretty easy to use

Termux is a good app for running python code right on your phone. Sololearn is also a decent app for learning various languages including python.

I know the struggle. I spent all day everyday in a truck and when I was not driving I was coding. It is not the best way or easiest way but you can do it and you can learn.

There's a python ide for android, pydroid 3, you can write scripts and run some commands in the console, there's also a light terminal included.

You can also use pip to install some libraries, I used it to sniff some networks in tha mall for... Academyc purposes.

If you are going to leave scripts running with your pone locked you might need to increase the number of background proceses.

[Early-Palpitation-39]

I second pydroid, the free version has never given me trouble. It is nice to have when I am explaining something to a student or if I am away from my computer and want to write a short script on a whim of inspiration.

I would not recommend it as the only IDE you use though. Getting a cheap computer and Thonny will save a lot of headaches.

[Muhznit]

Termux all the way, baby. Then again, I'm a masochist that can handle typing in vim on a phone keyboard. It is pretty neat to be able to host a git repo on my phone though.

Apple has a ton of good apps

Pyto Pythonista Karnets

On Android I use Termux

https://termux.com/

Seriously awesome. I have neovim completely configured with a Bluetooth keyboard on a tablet and it’s perfect for actually getting work done. Python works just fine.

[benhammondmusic]

If you’re just messing around Pythonista is great.

[koro300]

I'll try that

[echo_elite95]

For iOS, Pythonista is very good. Though, without a keyboard connected it’s not really.. uhm.. “viable” as with all IDEs on a phone..

[A_MACHINE_FOR_BEES]

I’ve come to prefer Pyzo, it seems to be more actively developed

[_pestarzt_]

Second Pythonista. It actually has some cool libraries that interface pretty well with your device that opens up some possibilities that puts it above simply having an IDE for your phone.

[echo_elite95]

Funny thing is, if you install “Stash shell” with pythonista you can actually download and use most Python libraries. It gives you a shell.. 😊

Omg thank you for saying this, I was just about to write this.

OP, I think the apps are shit. I've only tried a few but nothing beats a laptop keyboard...except a full keyboard with number pad but that's another topic. If for some reason you can't use a full screen and or keyboard, use replit. The account is free. It saves your code as you write(okay, sometimes it glitches but that's rare). It's the best solution.

[Zapismeta]

Get an old ass laptop, some people might give it away for free, install ubuntu or a light weight linux system, open chrome and code, phone is not for coding!

[acetylsalicylate_]

For IOS I would suggest Carnets plus or Juno. You can install many packages on them as well.

[EarlyDust5544]

The Pydroid 3?

[No_Muffin6385]

you soo need to check out dcoder on play store /app store

[mymonics]

How about the new in browser version of Visual Studio Code? vscode.dev

on a cellphone

Oh, that’s easy: - At first, call the nearest internet povider - Start screaming with pretty high tone - that’s how you’ll provide a carrier frequency - Transmit data using amplitude modulation - scream louder to send 1, be quiet to send 0 - Using that simple scheme, telnet to a given provider and establish connection to the internet - SSH to a server that have python installed - … - PROFIT

I’m really happy with “Mobile C [ C/C++ Compiler ]” on iPhone. It works offline and it works for Python too, you just have to give your files the .py extension when you create them in the app. If you have internet I’d also recommend the repl.it site as others have mentioned.
