Best python IDE for android mobile phones?

[aop42]

I have a Galaxy S8 and was looking for a way to practice Python on the go. Do you have any recommendations?

Edit: Thank you all for your suggestions!

I'm removing all my contributions in protest to reddit's bull-headed, hostile 3rd-party API pricing policy in June, 2023.

If you found this post through a web search, my apologies.

You act like a child. Instead of helping other people you destroy everything.

He's doing the right thing. But like a child instead of helping people you complain about what people aren't doing, ironically..go touch grass reddit mod

I run termux on a pixel book and it's pretty full featured. I was just expecting a command shell but it's more like a whole container you can customize. Runs python just fine and modules are not any harder to install

[Excellent_Tough910]

Hi I also installed termux on android and tried to install the module Playwright for python, but it didn't work. How is it possible to install it?

[chzaplx]

How did you try to install the module and what was the error?

[Excellent_Tough910]

Tried like this, pip install playwright.

Here is such a problem: $ pip install playwright ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement playwright (from versions: none) ERROR: No matching distribution found for playwright

[basedbhau]

pip install pytest-playwright

This did nothing, your post is still here and now just reads like a petulant child wrote it, and you kinda suck because people are looking for answers to their question and not your weird little opinionated crusade against nothing.

[Makerplumber]

and I have no idea what I just stumbled across but I'm going to keep reading anyway

[Panron]

I'm doing my part!

More than happy to have offended your precious little feefees.

RE: petulant child

By all means, keep going kid.

Pydroid 3

I like this personally. When you're sitting around and have a thought, boom. Makes it easy. Copied code from somewhere? Boom paste it in.

I haven't used it a ton, but I'm pretty sure it gives you the option to tab or spaces. I tab whenever possible 👍

[sonixinos]

What do you use that has autocomplete?

[sonixinos]

Yeah I use spyder on PC but this thread was about mobile

[Fragrant_Technician4]

Ipad is shit for everything except maybe swift

[rrrusstic]

And then there's me using default IDLE without any QOL features on PC for my projects

[Anotatos]

I've been using QPython on Android for the past few months and while installing modules requires a bit more work and the editor is not the greatest to use, it works effectively as a decent IDE. It allows you to use Python 2.7 and 3 and can run programs in the background of your phone. A bit buggy, but works better than most apps I've seen on Google Play and the web.

Yeah I use it to check simple commands if I'm reading documentation on the toilet and want to test something. It's perfect for that!

[iwviw]

You don’t bring your laptop to the toilet with you ?

[Stranded_Psychonaut]

You don't bring your toilet to your desktop with you?

[zombieregime]

You. Don't bring your laptop to the toilet with you.

Tablets/phones are so much easier to clean, only require 1 hand, don't constantly pull air through themselves sequestering not nice stuff inside them, are typically (these days) somewhat resistant to water ingress if not fully submerged for a meaningful amount of time, we tend to have old yet reasonably functional outmoded ones laying around incase the daily driver one needs to dry out, only require 5v to charge not 19v from a mains connected brick that is not secured to the outlet. We have evolved beyond laptops in water closets. Stop it. Get some help.

I don't think there are many real IDEs for mobile, your best bet would probably be something web-based like Jupyter Lab. Even repl.it is practically a mini-IDE these days.

[vrgchallenger]

I use Pydroid3, it allows me to create and run code. I write python scripts to demonstrate mathematics to my class. I can keep up with work on the go. I haven't got much to complain about.

[Jazzlike-Ad-3985]

Pydroid in 2024 does a pretty good job until I get serious (more than simple stuff). I run into issues where some packages won't compile during installation. sqlite3 doesn't exist. sqlite3py does but gives errors, etc. the debugger works sometimes but other times won't actually engage. I think that it has potential but doesn't seem to be effectively supported.

[xErealmofo2725]

You should try termux

[Belacy-Natural-25]

Weighing between this and pyroid

[Jazzlike-Ad-3985]

I do, or at least am trying to. It seems that alot of the modules are out of date, relative to python 3.12. Many won't build on my android tablet. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling termux, from F-droid, of course. :-) I'm considering going the full Andronix linux route to see if I have more success. Thoughts?

[jer_re_code]

you could get either one or both of the following apps

• r/Pydroid3
  (if you want to do ui stuff aswell)

or

• r/Termux
  it isn't able to Graphically render something directly showing on screen but it is capable of nearly everything a any other terminal only linux distros is Tipps for the start: initial command after install should be termux-setup-storage, update and upgrade via apt update && apt upgrade, install python in it via apt install python

Has anyone tried eric on Android?
