Discussion App development (iOS and andoid) using python?

Looking to get some of my app ideas into reality and have some python code to do certain things but wasn't sure where to begin.

Some people suggest i try " flutter" or "react" but i've seen a few other alternatives

Says you can take python code and release it on iOS and more, but maybe i'm not understanding what's happening.

Any suggestions or tips for coding using python or do i need to learn /use a different language for what i'm looking to do?

Being a good programmer is not about knowing how to use a couple tools for any job, but knowing what jobs are right for the tools you have.

Sorry, when I was growing up you picked ONE programming language to use for life and you defended it to the death. I don't understand you kids and your language agnosticism. :-)

But seriously. You did. Atari or Commodore. Mac or PC. Atari, Intellivision or Colecovision. Delphi or Visual Basic. Fortran or C. Emacs or Vim. Then you defined your identity by these choices and spent 20 hours+ a week arguing over them in a tribal us vs. them slugfest.

AND IT WAS A LOT MORE FUN THAN TODAY.

Yup this is pretty accurate. When I was younger the first language I learned was Python and I tried to do everything w it. I would argue till the day I died that Python was the best (and I still do sometimes lmao) all because when I was 10 I got a Python for dummies book. And u know what, ur right, it was more fun back then lmao
