Pyto vs TigerJython

Pyto is an IDE for running Python 3.10 and C/C++ on iPhone and iPad. Its site says Python, clang, and an LLVM bitcode interpreter run locally on those devices. The editor offers syntax highlighting and code completion, while its terminal runs UNIX commands and scripts. Included libraries include NumPy, Matplotlib, Pandas, Statsmodels, SciPy, scikit-learn, scikit-image, and OpenCV. Pyto provides a traceback interface for debugging exceptions and an integrated file browser for projects; C/C++ programs can use setuptools or build_cproj. Python modules can be installed from PyPI. It can run scripts or custom code with Shortcuts and create Home Screen widgets. A free download is available with in-app purchases, and a 3-day trial is listed. Lite Version costs 7.99 USD once and unlocks Pyto without third-party libraries; Full Version costs 14.99 USD once and includes them. Mac support requires macOS 11 or later and Apple M1 or later.

TigerJython is a free Python development environment designed to teach programming. Its simple editor is aimed mainly at beginners, with teaching features including a repeat loop, Turtle graphics, and enhanced error messages. The IDE intentionally does not support projects or workspaces. Libraries cover graphics, game design, databases, and robotics, with devices including Lego EV3, Raspberry Pi, micro:bit, Calliope Mini, Callibot, and OxoCard. The downloadable IDE runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux and includes a platform-specific Java runtime, so a separate JRE is not needed. WebTigerPython provides a browser-based option without installation, with Turtle graphics and a simple debugger. The IDE can optionally send anonymous error-message feedback; its product page says comments and strings are removed, and the setting is in advanced settings. The TJ Group maintains the product and supports computer science education in schools and teacher use of programming across subjects. The maker permits private and educational use free of charge unless a product states otherwise, and provides its products as is without warranties.
