[Tutor] python on ipad

[Ben Fishbein]

Thanks. Pythonista looks good. Do you know if it can use any module? Besides the standard libraries that come with python I also use selenium. I'm not sure if it would work with pythonista.
In my mac selenium needs at least python 2.7. I wasn't able to get selenium to work for a while and it turned out it was because I was using python 2.5.
I also need read from and write to txt files as part of the algorithm. Do I need another app that does txt files?

It doesn't have Tkinter or ttk, but does have a "scene" library that supports GUI interfaces and games.  It has a fairly active discussion forum and if you Google Pythonista you will get hits to several reviews - all positive.  At $6.95, it would be worth checking out.
