![]() ![]() Juno is another Jupyter notebook app for the iPad that bills itself as a Jupyter IDE. You’re stuck using the global environment and whatever package versions come pre-built with the app. Like a-Shell, the Carnets app doesn’t let you create isolated Python environments. ![]() If you can afford the extra space, I highly recommend downloading Carnets – Jupyter (with scipy) instead of the base Carnets app. There are two versions of Carnets available in the App Store:Ĭarnets – Jupyter (with scipy) includes a few additional packages for doing machine learning right on your iPad: scipy, seaborn, sklearn, and coremltools. There are quite a few - although many you see in the following list were installed by me or as dependencies of packages I installed: To see all of the Python packages you get with Carnets, run %pip list. If you need to install a package that doesn’t come with Carnets, you can use %pip install inside of a notebook cell to install the package: There aren’t any bells and whistles here. The thing that I like most about it is that it “just works.” Download the app and in a few minutes you’re running Jupyter notebooks right on your iPad.Ĭarnet’s interface looks just like Jupyter in a browser. You can create, view, and edit notebook files, including ones that you created elsewhere or were sent to you by a colleague. You get a full Python and Jupyter implementation - no need to connect to an external Jupyter server - as well as a handful of useful Python packages, including NumPy, pandas, and Matplotlib.Ĭlick here to view Carnets on the App Store \(\rightarrow\) This means a-Shell is great for testing things out, or for doing some basic, pure-Python programming, but it’s not very well suited to professional development.Ĭarnets is a free, standalone Jupyter notebook app available on iPad and iPhone. One of a-Shell’s major downsides is the lack of support for Python virtual environments. You can even write programs in C and C and run them on your iPad ? You can navigate your iPad’s file system, transfer files using curl, generate SSH keys, SSH into remote servers, and more. This is admittedly a serious limitation for a lot of folks, but it does allow you to install some pretty awesome packages - including Will McGugan’s awesome rich library:īesides being a great way to use Python on your iPad, a-Shell has a lot of other useful features. You can install Python packages using pip in a-Shell as long as those package are pure Python. When I come across something that I want to check in the Python REPL, it’s incredibly helpful to be able to swipe in from the right-hand-side of my iPad, quickly check something in the REPL, and then dismiss the app by swiping right: You can open new windows, put a-Shell side-by-side with another app, and - my favorite - use a-Shell in slideover mode. You can also map the globe key on the Magic Keyboard to function as Esc in the Settings app.Ī-Shell plays nicely with iPadOS 15’s multi-tasking features. If you'd like, you can change Caps Lock to work as Esc in a-Shell’s settings. This makes working in vim painful until you figure out that Cmd . ![]() Tip: If you use Apple’s Magic Keyboard for iPad, then you don’t have a physical Esc key. Here’s what editing a Python file in vim looks like: Once you install and open a-Shell, type help to get a quick overview of the app:Ī-Shell comes with vim and ed for editing files, and it includes Python 3.9 out-of-the box. It’s also quite powerful.Ĭlick here to open a-Shell in the Apple Store \(\rightarrow\) ![]() a-Shell gives you a Unix-style terminal on your iPad or iPhone and it’s completely free. My goto app for using Python on the iPad is Nicolas Holzschuch’s fantastic a-Shell app. Personally, I use a-Shell and Codeanywhere the most. You can even share your environment live with teammates, with Google Docs-like collaboration tools. Codeanywhere Cloud IDE: Code on all of your devices with a modern VS Code-inspired IDE (it even runs most of the marketplace extensions!).Juno Connect: A beautiful Jupyter client for connecting to remote servers.Juno: A unique, premium Jupyter client that also includes Python and many scientific and data-related packages.Carnets: A local Jupyter client with Python, NumPy, pandas, and other stats and data science packages.a-Shell: A full-featured Unix terminal with Python and many other tools.Here are five ways you can code in Python on any iPad right now: But there are several professional-grade coding apps in the App Store, especially for Python programmers… if you know where to look. It's true: you can't install Visual Studio Code on your iPad, natively. With no support for pro apps like coding IDEs! I mean, Apple released a tablet with a leading processor and up to 16GB of RAM. People complain that the iPad Pro isn't "pro" enough. See my affiliate disclosure for more information. ![]()
