Python for iOS

Nice. So, it's possible to integrate the interpreter on iOS? My app http://worqshop.com has the Python editor (with syntax highlighting) and GitHub support. But, no interpreter!

Presumably because the author of the app feels like it would be nice to be compensated for the work involved in creating it.

Python for iOS is something that makes Python programs run as apps and maintains its library -- thus something explicitly impossible. This is just a gadget.

Because it takes serious effort to do it.

I'm glad they did it. 3 dollars is nothing compared with the value I got from being able to use python on my phone.

Downloaded it and love it. Sometimes I get the urge to mess around with simple ideas, but I need to work some part of them out by coding (i.e. RNG). If I'm out and about and have some time to spare, I can now pull out this app and do some coding exercises. :)

Problem: I can't seem to swipe between the console, editor, and docs.
