Creating Dash App vis Pythonista on IOS

Dash Python
1

Has anyone been able to code a dash app from their mobile device? I do not mean create an app that functions on a mobile device - I mean actually write the code for the app on the mobile device.

I am working on an app and would love it if I could work on it via mobile. I just bought Pythonista, but it doesn’t have the Dash or Plotly libraries. Wondering if anyone has gotten Dash to work in Pythonista or some other app.

Update: Used StaSh (GitHub - ywangd/stash: StaSh - Shell for Pythonista) to download Plotly and Dash via Pip, and when the code runs I get an error saying “metadata package not found for werkzeug”. When I click on the localhost link to check my app in the browser, it doesn’t load. Troubleshooting that right now. Anyone experienced something like this?

Its been some time sense I’ve opened Pythonista… Figured out a way to download youtube videos on my ipad with a custom script I made in pythonista. and published a video on how I was able to do it… and received my first youtube strike :sweat_smile: but that was ~ 2yrs ago… was able to get plotly working but not sure about dash… You can make dash apps mobile friendly and I believe you can turn them into actual apps on the IOS or android market place. However… I’d highly recommend not using pythonista for the actual IDE for building anything serious, I think pythonista is best for downloading jupiter notebooks or simple projects and reviewing them on a trip by plane or car for some quick mobile learning. Get a proper PC or if that isn’t available look into cloud hosted solution like https://py.cafe.

Thanks @PipInstallPython. I’ve already tried your mobile testing tip - that’s a lifesaver! My intention with Pythonista is to allow for quick edits to my projects when I am not at my computer. Life’s busy, but I am trying to code every day and so being able to do that on my phone increases my chances of being able to do that.

That’s pretty cool about your youtube trick.
