Python All the Things
summary
Argues that Python can run natively on phones, tablets, TVs and watches by reusing or reimplementing CPython pieces, demonstrating a toolchain: compile CPython for iOS/tvOS, use ctypes/FFI to call native libraries, cross-compile or transpile with projects like PyPy.js and Batavia, and package apps with briefcase (macOS, iOS, tvOS working, Android preliminary). Claims Python becomes a first-class, cross-platform app language and calls for funding and contributors; many components work now but deployment and funding remain the bottlenecks.
