Read full description

An everyday Python reference, from strings and collections to threading and design patterns. Tricky parts of the examples are explained in comments. You know what you need, but the exact syntax escapes you: • How do I sort a dict by value? • How do I serialize an object to JSON and back? • How do I start a thread and wait for it to finish? Each has a working example here, ready to adapt to your code. • 22 sections, including classes, functions and lambdas, files, serialization, exceptions, regular expressions, databases and algorithms. • Language changes by version, Python 3.0 to 3.13: the walrus operator, match statements, dataclasses, free-threading and more, with before-and-after code. • Keyword and function reference: over 200 entries. Browse, search, or tap a word in the code to look it up. • SQL included: JOIN, GROUP BY, subqueries, data types; more than half of the queries run on a real practice database. • No IDE or local Python needed: over 90% of examples run in the app, with the output right below the code. • Search covers the code itself, not just titles: type a fragment you remember and find the example. • Edit examples or add your own; changes are saved in the app. • Everything except running code works offline. No account needed. Examples are curated from professional sources and checked before release: the code works and is easy to follow. FREE VERSION • 12 runs (examples and SQL combined) and 12 edits a day • Keyword and function reference with no limits • Up to 5 examples of your own The full version unlocks every example and query, removes the limits on edits and on your own examples, and raises the daily run limits to 30 for examples and 80 for SQL. One-time purchase, no subscription. Built by a developer for developers. The project behind it has been in active development since 2015.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Python Recipes at 4.7 against Python3 IDE Fresh Edition's 4.5. Python3 IDE Fresh Edition's advantage is chart position (#146 vs unranked) and ratings volume (426 vs 83). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Python Recipes sells 5 one-off in-app purchases and Python3 IDE Fresh Edition sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Python Recipes holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Python3 IDE Fresh Edition has 426 ratings behind it against 83, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 83% of Python Recipes's written reviews are positive against 88% of Python3 IDE Fresh Edition's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Python Recipes ships an update monthly, Python3 IDE Fresh Edition every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 13, 2026 and October 11, 2026 respectively.
