Re: Python on iPhone actually rather good

curse of cocoa.
I've found "Cocoa Programming for Mac OS X", in combination with the
PyObjC tutorials on the web, to be a very accessible combination.
I've gone about halfway through the book, just translating the
tutorials from ObjC to PyObjC as I go, and it's worked out fine.

When I need help, I post to the pythonmac-sig list, which is a
friendly and helpful bunch. (I would think that iPhone development
would be welcome there as well, since the iPhone is more or less a
tiny Mac, at least from a development point of view).

Best,

I did it. I proposed python as the main language for our next CAD/CAM software because I think that it has all the potential needed for it. I'm not sure yet if the decision will get through, but something I'll need in this case is some experience-based set of rules about how to use python in this context. For example... is defining readonly attributes in classes worth the hassle ? Does duck-typing scale well in complex

Anybody tried this port of Python to the iPhone? http://www.modmyi.com/nativeapps/python-v251/ http://iphone.natetrue.com/ Hasn't been updated since July 2007. Maybe just a proof-of-concept? I'm guessing it involves jailbreaking the phone. Skip

Yes it does involve Jailbreaking. Python GCC Java and Ruby are all available to run on the iPhone after you Jailbreak it. Just run the Cydia appliacation (jailbreak's AppStore) to install

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention.
