iOS iPhone and Python

[pcornwell]

Is there any way to utilize Python and PyObjC to build iPhone applications for non-jailbroken phones? Has anyone tried this? While I know Obj-C enough to be dangerous I've spent too many years with garbage collection to want to go back and hunt the memory leak

Thanks in advance,

Pete

No. The iPhone does not have a Python runtime on it.

Thanks - but utils like py2app can place a runtime in with your code as part of the app package.... at least for normal mac development.

Not going to happen. Interpretors and the like are banned by Apple.
