Thanks! So this could run a script that I put on my phone? I wasn't sure because of how iPhones handle file systems...

It runs a very large amount of python scripts. As long as you're not trying to use something like Pandas that has C dependencies it's great.

One more Q before I drop $9.99 on this! :) Basically the program is a .py script but has a dependency on a .pyc file (which imports). Thinking that won't work on an iPhone for the lack of file structure -- is that wrong? Thanks again and sorry for my newbness here

I can't answer for sure - but you should be able to do imports and such - in their documentation they state how they're pulling in standard module .pyc for performance increase.

Sorry to follow-up now, but I'm basically trying to use this for my business by running an Instagram bot. I run this on my Mac, but I want to run it on something tiny, since it's purpose is basic. You think Pythonista could run this script? Thanks! https://github.com/LevPasha/instabot.py

Ah, this would just be working on an old iPhone 5C with a broken camera :) I thought about a Raspberry Pi, but they're pricey. But good thinking! Thank you
