PyBox is a feature-rich Python 3 IDE built for Android - code, run, and debug real Python projects entirely on your phone, chromebook or tablet, no PC required. Powered by the latest Python 3.14.6, PyBox goes far beyond a simple code editor: it's a complete offline development environment with pre-built support for computer vision, machine learning, data science, web frameworks, audio processing, and more.
WHY PYBOX?
Most "Python for Android" apps only run basic scripts. PyBox ships with a real package ecosystem so you can build the same projects you'd build on a desktop - computer vision apps with camera access, ML inference (via onnxruntime), local web servers & web apps, data dashboards, even games (using PyGame and PySDL2) all from your device.
📷 COMPUTER VISION, MACHINE LEARNING & CAMERA
- OpenCV with device camera access - capture, process, and display live video feeds
- Pillow (PIL) for image loading, editing, and manipulation
- ONNX Runtime for running trained ML models on-device
- NCNN for fast, lightweight neural network inference
- sherpa-ncnn for fully offline speech recognition - no internet needed
🎤 AUDIO & SPEECH
- PyAudio for microphone access and audio I/O
- SpeechRecognition library support
- sherpa-ncnn offline speech-to-text engine
📊 DATA SCIENCE & SCIENTIFIC COMPUTING
- NumPy and SciPy for numerical and scientific computing
- Pandas for data manipulation and analysis
- Matplotlib and Seaborn for data visualization and plotting
- scikit-learn for machine learning models and pipelines
- Astropy for astronomy and astrophysics calculations
- JupyterLab and Jupyter Notebook - run full interactive notebooks on your phone
🌐 WEB DEVELOPMENT
- Django for full-stack web applications
- Flask for lightweight APIs and web apps
- Tornado for asynchronous web services
- BeautifulSoup4 for web scraping and HTML parsing
- Run local servers and preview them directly in your device browser
🎮 GAMES & GUI
- Pygame for 2D game development
- Tkinter for desktop-style GUI applications
- Turtle graphics for visual programming and learning
- GUI output rendering so windowed apps display properly on Android
🛠️ CORE IDE FEATURES
- Full syntax-highlighted code editor with autocomplete
- Built-in file manager to create, edit, and organize projects
- Integrated terminal (sh) for shell commands and pip installs
- Python REPL and IPython interactive shells
- Project templates to get started fast (Flask, Django, web scraping, ML, and more)
- Run, stop, and manage scripts with real-time console output
- Works fully offline once packages are installed - no constant internet dependency
WHO IS PYBOX FOR?
- Students learning Python, data science, or computer vision
- Developers who want to prototype or test scripts on the go
- Hobbyists building camera, audio, or ML side projects on Android
- Anyone who wants IDLE-style simplicity with third-party library support
Download PyBox and turn your Android device into a Python 3 development environment - write code, process images, run models, scrape & parse web data, build web apps, and explore data science, all from your pocket.
