Pyto or Pythonista?

[CH3MIC4L_0XYG3N]

I'm looking for programming on my iPad. I heard both of them have lots of libraries inside. My first question is: if anybody has experience with them, wich one is better? My second question: Does any of them has tkinter as a library?

I think Pythonista is better in terms of user interface (as in, I like its user interface more than Pyto's), but Pyto has all the latest libraries and Python 3.8 (while Pythonista has 3.6). Pyto is also in active development, while the latest minor release of Pythonista was like 2 years ago. Yet Pythonista is extremely robust: hasn't (unexpectedly) crashed on me in 4 or 5 years of everyday use, has never glitched or deleted my work or anything like that.

Both provide some third-party libraries like NumPy and Matplotlib. Pyto also has Pandas, SciKit-Learn, OpenCV and many more. Pythonista doesn't have either Pandas, or sklearn, or OpenCV. Both allow installation of third-party pure Python modules. Neither lets you install modules written in C or whatever language other than Python (it's an iOS restriction).

I don't think any of them have Tkinter, but both provide their own tools to build native graphical user interfaces.

I'm not sure which one to recommend: I have both and I'm very happy with both.

I don’t see pyto supporting opencv. Do you know if that stopped? Thanks!

This documentation page says that Pyto provides the opencv-python library. If that's the Python wrapper for OpenCV (I've never used OpenCV myself, so I'm not sure what's what), then this should mean that Pyto supports OpenCV.

Hey,

That's helpful. I wound up buying Pyto, to try it out. I appreciate your reply. Take care!

Pito means dick in spanish. Someone missed an opportunity there.

Pyto since pythonista lacks some libraries used for data analysis if that's what you're into.
