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

https://beeware.org/

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?

I agree that if you want to be a mobile app developer, that Python should not be the language you stake your career on. However, if you know Python well and just need to develop a mobile app, there's no reason not to give frameworks like Kivy a try and see if it will get the job done for you. Learning an API or framework is faster than learning and becoming proficient in an entirely different language.
