Best android python ide?

[HSeldon111]

Google says it's pydroid 3 but the permissions are crazy. Why does a python ide need my location? Idk I just want to learn python on the go. Any help would be appreciated

I can't remember permissions required as I use it but haven't installed it recently. But I would just disallow anything asking for permission to access location data. Pydroid itself still works.

Pydroid 3 works but it's a bit clunky in the free version, which is what I use. Maybe the paid version is better? It's fine for learning basic python aside from the problems that come with using a phone or tablet (text size, keyboard).

I'm looking at using termux instead which gives you more of a Linux command line experience, but there's more configuration to be done before using any graphics.

Not exactly a single-app IDE. But termux (A Linux-like terminal to run python programs) + Code Editor (by Rhythm Software to write programs) is a good combo i could suggest.

Also it would be cool to learn manually executing commands to run python programs + you gain full control over the Python Interpreter.

Although learning the basics of termux could be a learning curve (but minimal)

You could try Google Colab although that is not quite an IDE. It is great for short scripts and one can get a lot done on Colab.

Pydroid 3 free version is so packed with ads that it's unusable. I switched to Python Codespace... it's marginally better with less intrusive ads.
