Earlier quoted context omitted.

There are lots of Python libraries out there. There might be some with no Dart equivalent? But if you don’t care about using them, maybe it’s not that compelling.

Isn't that is what dart ffi is for?

It looks like it’s for interop with C rather than Python. I see there is a python_python_ffi package, though?

“View via iOS Flet app” is not “enables developers to easily build realtime web, _mobile_ and desktop apps in Python.”

I think that is poorly worded. Reading the docs ( https://flet.dev/docs/publish ), much like Flutter, this compiles to an IPA for your own app that you can deploy. I think they are referring to the Flet app shell that is the native shim for Flutter and Python.

Ah, thanks!
