**PythonNative** is a cross-platform toolkit that allows you to create native Android and iOS apps using Python. Inspired by frameworks like React Native and NativeScript, PythonNative provides a Pythonic interface for building native UI elements, handling lifecycle events, and accessing platform-specific APIs.

- **Native UI Components**: Create and manage native buttons, labels, lists, and more, all from Python.

- **Cross-Platform**: Write once, run on both Android and iOS.

- **Lifecycle Management**: Handle app lifecycle events with ease.

- **Native API Access**: Access device features like Camera, Geolocation, and Notifications.

- **Powered by Proven Tools**: PythonNative integrates seamlessly with [Rubicon](https://beeware.org/project/projects/bridges/rubicon/) for iOS and [Chaquopy](https://chaquo.com/chaquopy/) for Android, ensuring robust native performance.

First, install PythonNative via pip:

pip install pythonnative

Initialize a new PythonNative app:

pn init my_app

Your app directory will look like this:

In PythonNative, everything is a view. Here's a simple example of how to create a main page with a list view:

import pythonnative as pn

class MainPage(pn.Page):

def __init__(self, native_instance):

super().__init__(native_instance)

def on_create(self):

super().on_create()

stack_view = pn.StackView(self.native_instance)

list_data = ["item_{}".format(i) for i in range(100)]

list_view = pn.ListView(self.native_instance, list_data)

stack_view.add_view(list_view)

self.set_root_view(stack_view)

pn run android

pn run ios
