This is pretty cool, especially for learning how to visually parse basic python quickly.

I'd also add a couple of other tools:

Pythonista is indispensable for learning/using Python on iOS. 'Python for iOS' is good too-- it isn't as clean as Pythonista, but it does include the python.org language docs with the app. The both utilize python 2.7 and a REPL, but I think there are other versions that use Python 3.

Thanks!

Pythonista and 'Python for iOS' are good apps, with quite different goals than my app. They allow trying and exploring the language and learning to write programs, whereas I aim to teach basic reading skills of programs. Both are important skills.

There nowadays seems to be 'Python x.x for iOS' for almost all recent versions of Python :)
