“…An essential aspect of teaching and learning software development among young people is emphasizing on hands-on experiences in building real-world applications, interactive learning, and a learner-centric approach. Machalík and Jahodová Berková in 2017 [5] found that the conventional approach to teaching programming languages in developed nations is often costly and inaccessible to students in many developing countries. However, many of these students have access to modern mobile devices, fuelling their interest in creating software applications.…”

Programming is a major part of software engineering. There are many programming languages, paradigms, frameworks and Integrated development environment (IDE) software’s used to teach programming concepts today. Access to personal computers or computer laboratories is poor or non-existent for students in developing countries due to socioeconomic challenges. One useful resource is the growing availability of cheaper Android mobile devices in developing countries. With the right applications and editors, these mobile devices can be used to practically teach programming with hands-on programming experience by students of these developing countries. This article provides a comparative analysis of Python Integrated Development Environments (IDEs) available for mobile Android devices, focusing on their suitability for teaching programming concepts. The evaluation is conducted on five popular Python IDEs tailored for Android mobile devices. It provides a comprehensive comparison of five popular mobile Python programming IDE applications. The comparison covers their respective advantages and disadvantages, ease of use, installation, features, performance, Central Processing Unit (CPU) and Random-Access Memory (RAM) resources usage. The study highlights the suitability of Pydroid 3 and QPython 3x/Ox for novice learners operating resource-limited Android devices, whereas AIDE and Termux cater to individuals with intermediate to advanced proficiency, particularly those equipped with more powerful Android devices. This discernment serves as a valuable resource for educators and learners alike, aiding them in making informed decisions when choosing the optimal tool for imparting and acquiring programming concepts through Python on Android mobile platforms.
