Hi, Pythonista looks really great! However, I'm wondering if the library can also be used or is planned to be used on a desktop OS and not only on iOS. Actually, I'm looking for a way to create a portable app that can run on many different systems. I also had a look at Processing and processing.js, but I'd like Python more than Java or JavaScript.

Using Pythonista library on the desktop?
The python language is portable, but my guess is that the Pythonista scene library is written in ObjC.
omz would have to release the source / port it to other platforms to use it outside of iOS.
There are other attempts at Processing done in python like this, though:

PyGame and pyglet are other projects to look at that provide cross-platform python controlled images/animation/audio.
Thank you very much for the answer. Now I understand. I had a look at PyGame and pyglet, but they don't seem to be available for iOS. However, if one really wanted to port the scene library to other platforms, I think they could be good starting points. So as it seems, the only thing that currently really runs on Windows, Linux, Mac OS, iOS and Android is a combination of HTML5 Canvas with JavaScript, like the demos of the cocos2d library. It would be cool if something as portable as that was also available for Python.
