Paste python into an iOS (iphone) application written in Objective-C / Swift / C / C ++ (any language I can compile in Xcode and switch to iOS)

Question

I do not intend to place the project in the application store

• The short question is, is there an updated PyObjC tutorial for embedding python scripts in an iOS application written in Objective-C and / or fast? If not, if there is any modern method to achieve the same goal?

• Background . I want to run python scripts with a bundle in an Objective-C ios application. I tried a couple of things:

  • I tried using python.framework, but I got the error "failed to create Python module." After searching on Google, I realized that python.framework is not working on iOS - Run python scripts in an iOS application

  • PyObjC - for experiments, I managed to get the generated * .plugin running on OS X. I followed this guide - https://pythonhosted.org/pyobjc/tutorials/embedded.html Using the same method in iOS, it cannot compile

Answer 1

If anyone is ever interested in calling python from swift, here is some useful stuff I found (used) -

• use python framework - https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/technotes/tn2328/_index.html
• PyObjC (a bit more complicated) -
• cobbal - https://github.com/cobbal/python-for-iphone
• python docs (you will need to do a C-Swift bridhe)

Most of them are designed for Objective-c, but if you need to use swift, you can just create an ObjC-Swift bridge (super super super) - find apple documents

I managed to get the first two methods of working with the OS X application, but I got some architecture errors for iOS (not important). At the moment, I dropped the project, I have a ton that I need to do.

Hope this will be useful for anyone interested :-)
