This episode is all about Beeware, the project that working towards true native apps built on Python, especially for iOS and Android. Russell's been at this for more than a decade, and the progress is now hitting critical mass. We'll talk about the Toga GUI toolkit, building and shipping your apps with Briefcase, the newly official support for iOS and Android in CPython, and so much more. I can't wait to explore how BeeWare opens up the entire mobile ecosystem for Python developers, let's jump right in.
