What happened to pip?

Tying to load gTTY text to speech library, no way to do it.

I found a bug in your code

It’s <div> when you run html cuz it makes the page unrunable, i dont know if it happened to other people or not tho but can you fix it pls

This is very well done

I have to say this is so strong that getting through things as I start writing on iOS has been easier than I thought. There are many scripts I can immediately import and run. Graphics need a little help but still quite amazing.

Novice User Of Pythonista On iPad

Excellent for learning rudimentary Python. But, bit of a semi-steep learning curve for this newbie to learn most of basic features in Pythonista’s IDE, keyboard, and GUI. Otherwise, terrific.

Great but crashes lately

Have been using for years. Over the last month or so it crashes when reactivating. Maybe it needs an update.
