Answer 1

Bartas Dausynas 🤦‍♂ Bro I mean ,

$ python
python 3.6.5
>>> import tkinter
>>> root = Tk()

Just like this I wanna say . I means the Computer is the best option.

Answer 2

Bartas Dausynas Like using python and any language in computer and laptop and in android is different, like you cant use tkinter, etc

Answer 3

Youssef Atta'i Pydroid is amazing Even jupyter notebook and pygame also we use but I want to say about Terminal that in terminal you cant do such things, which a computer terminal can give. BTW thanks for replying

Answer 4

Youssef Atta'i yes, you have to root your device.

Answer 5

In current world most of users use android, so you can use Termux, but the full features and enviorment you can only get in PC or laptop 😊😊

Answer 6

Youssef Atta'i to a certain extent I guess. If you tried to do anything hacky with your phone or just need permissions to certain things you'll have to root.

Answer 7

Termux is cool...no root needed for intermediate level usage

Answer 8

Thank you, Jan

Answer 9

import os
os.system("pip install somepythonmodule")

This actually ran with no problems on android, so can I just use os.system() as if it was the windows cmd, without rooting or installing any apps?

Answer 10

Maxwell Anderson Thank you, Maxwell

Answer 11

Rishi I actually tried using tkinter on android using Pydroid3 and it worked, that's one reason I feel like it's sometimes possible to treat android like windows.

also, take a look at this:

import os
os.system("date")

this shows date and time on both windows and android.

Answer 12

Can I overcome those restrictions if my device is rooted?
