What Pyto is

Pyto is an IDE for running Python 3.10 and C/C++ on iPhone and iPad. Its site says Python, clang, and an LLVM bitcode interpreter run locally on those devices. The editor includes syntax highlighting and code completion, while its terminal runs UNIX commands and scripts. An included traceback interface helps debug exceptions. Listed libraries include NumPy, Matplotlib, Pandas, Statsmodels, SciPy, scikit-learn, scikit-image, and OpenCV; libraries can schedule notifications and access location and the music library. Projects use an integrated file browser, and C/C++ programs can use setuptools or build_cproj. Pyto can run scripts or custom code through Shortcuts, create Home Screen widgets, and install Python modules from PyPI. It supports iOS and macOS, including Mac with macOS 11 or later and Apple M1 or later; Apple Watch and Apple Vision compatibility are also listed. The free download has in-app purchases. Lite Version costs 7.99 USD once and unlocks Pyto without third-party libraries; Full Version costs 14.99 USD once and includes them.
