20190107 Develop Python On Android

I have started to learn Python.

When learning a new programming language it is always best to try out as much as you can while reading the documentation.

This time learning was fun, I managed to do both on my phone, reading the documentation and using my new knowledge.

This is how I did it :

  1. install the Termux and in there you can install python, just type python and hit return, Termux will tell you how to get it
  2. create softlinks to all common folders with termux-setup-storage as described here
  3. install an editor, I use DroidEdit

Now you can create files with the editor in a directory reachable by both editor and Termux.

I have created the directory pydemo under downloads :

This is how the code looks in the editor :

Now you can execute your scripts using Python on your Android phone.
