At one point or another, every app developer needs to decide which programming language to use in order to bring their product to life. Since Python has several great mobile frameworks you may be wondering which one is the best option. Luckily, I’ve compiled a list of the eight best Python frameworks available so you don’t have to worry about any of the hard work yourself! So let’s jump right into it!
1) Kivy
Kivy is a cross-platform framework that allows users to build applications in Python. It can be used on Android, iOS, and Desktop operating systems. One of the major advantages of Kivy is that it can be used with other languages, such as Java or C++. Kivy has been around since 2010 and is still being actively developed by the community to this day.
2) PiPy
PiPy is one of the newest frameworks on this list, but it has already proved to be quite popular. PiPy is a high-level language that compiles Python code into efficient ARM assembly language. That makes PiPy ideal for mobile devices, which tend to use less power than their desktop counterparts.
3) Toga
Toga is a Python app framework that has been in development since 2013. Toga is a cross-platform framework, and it supports iOS, Android, and web apps with a single code base. It also has full support for native UI components and functional reactive programming (FRP).
4) cPython
Python is a scripting language that can be used to make websites, applications, and games. It is an open-source programming language that has been around since 1991. The cPython framework (also known as CPython) is the original implementation of Python and it can be run on Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, FreeBSD, or Solaris operating systems. Since cPython is an interpreter rather than a compiler there are some restrictions on what you can do with your code in terms of optimization.
5) Django CMS
Django CMS is a free, open-source content management system. It was created in 2008 as a framework by Lawrence Lessig, who wanted to make it easier for people to create their own websites. With Django CMS, you don’t need to know how to code – all you need is a text editor and your browser. Plus, it’s designed with security and scalability in mind so that your website can grow with you.
6) Flask
Flask is a microframework that supports python versions 2.7 and 3.4+. Flask is written in python, it's easy to learn and doesn't have too many features which can be confusing or slow down the framework. Flask doesn't include any templating languages, but it has extensions that allow integration with Jinja2 and Mako which are both popular templating languages in the python world.
7) Zope/Plone
Zope is an open-source application server that includes a content management system, or CMS. It is written in the Python programming language and offers many of the same features as other content management systems. Zope is often used in conjunction with Plone, which provides a framework to build web sites. The Zope/Plone combination can be modified to suit the needs of any organization.
8) Kivy + Pygame
Kivy is a cross-platform Python framework that makes it possible to build mobile apps that are OS agnostic, meaning they can run on any operating system. Kivy + Pygame is one of the most popular frameworks because it's been around for awhile and offers a wide range of features and support. This is an excellent option if you're looking to create games or graphical applications.
