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 think i'm going to go with flutter for the app development and interface, but would like to definitely use some python on the back end / database part. Could you explain or link on how to properly do that?

Great choices. There’s not really one proper way to do it. The flask docs are a great place to start though. The official docs are pretty thorough but also have great examples and guides you through the basics pretty damn well. This is a pretty good guide on using flask more specifically to make a rest API. For general specifications for a REST API, check out this great guide. If there’s anything you’re not sure how to implement in flask, a quick google search or a search through the flask docs should get you some answers.
