Running python/ruby script on iPhone?

Running python/ruby script on iPhone?

2024/9/20 9:28:05

From the recent news from the Apple, I learned that one has to use C/C++/Objective-C for iPhone App. Accordingly, it's not possible to use MacPython or similar to make iPhone App.

But as the python/ruby interpreter itself is written in C, isn't it OK to make python/ruby interpreter for iPhone to run the scripts on iphone?

Is this possible? Does Apple support this? Or does someone implemented this? Or, the user should hack to do this?

Added

I don't distribute the python script, I just use it for my own utility. Even in this case, do I need a jailbreak? I mean, can I compile the python with Xcode to get the binary? Or, I expect someone has already done this.

Answer

Apple recently changed their policy on this and allowed a python interpreter App called Python for iOS to be put up on the App store:

http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/python-for-ios/id485729872?mt=8&uo=4

Full disclosure: I am the sole creator/developer of Python for iOS.
