I would like to know if it's actually possible to run python code inside a flutter app, locally. I need to blur faces an license plates (for anonymization reasons). I found this project https://github.com/understand-ai/anonymizer, which seems to be adapted to my need but I don't know if it's possible to run it inside my app. Or maybe you know other ways to do the same then I'm open to all the possibilities, but it must be free / open source.
Thanks in advance.
Vayhuit there isn't so much about running Python in Flutter as Flutter was designed to use Dart, however, here's a plugin that was designed to allow for the support of other languages in Flutter.

We working on a project which involves ML/AI integration to the native mobile application. We are programing our ML/AI code in python. Python code has dependencies, that we need to include in our mobile application.
We have tried with kivy but they only create .apk files and apk files can't be called from other apks. So, we need to create libraries that can be included in the android and ios projects.
Also, we tried chequopy but that doesn't support mediapipe which is in heart of our implementation.
Any guidance in that direction will go long way for us.
If your app was entirely self-contained in python including dependencies using recipes should be possible. If rewriting the native app is not an option maybe one idea is to serve the ML over an HTTP API running on a local server (eg flask). Quite cumbersome as users would need to install two apps
I have a Python web application that I want to wrap in Electron. The web application backend is a very slim Flask app that forwarded calls to a Python package that does the processing, and formats the results. We have a React frontend that talks to this backend. We also have a pip based installation, that runs the Flask backend and serves the frontend, so you can pip install run the server and use it from your browser. This is similar to how Pgadmin 4 works.
Since this application is only used by people on their own computers, and never installed on a server, I want to convert it into an Electron app. However, I couldn't figure out how to distribute this application in one setup for Windows, MacOS and Linux. I don't want the users to have to install Python on their computers.
How can I do that?
There is a couple of clues on how to do that, even though I'm still unsure whether all necessary python modules can be bundled easily.
I have a similar case, even though I just want to bundle a prototype in an electron application so I can send it to collaborators for evaluation, without any intent of shipping it to final users.
My list of hints:

I really don't see why you need to throw electron in the mix, instead of just using your browser. I reckon that a barebone electron app that serves your page in a single window is going to be 50Mb. The key benefits of electron is that it lets you do system calls (access local files / devices), but if you are running flask you already have this ability.
Your main obstacle is how to distribute the flask app, specifically without installing python - and electron is not going to make things any easier to that respect. You should probably look at pyinstaller which lets you create executables that embed python.
Now, if you're talking of getting rid of python altogether, then indeed you could do that, nodejs has a rich set of libraries for everything os / db-related, even image processing, but it will lack in data science and processing. YMMV.
Is it possible to create a user interface without the help of python framework (like tinker or pygame) and use only vanilla python code? If yes, how?
Can you briefly explain how python framework works?
Is the code of different python framework different?
If the computer did not have the framework installed, will the program still runnable if the program uses a framework?
Thanks very much
Yes, after all tinker and pygame are just python classes packaged as modules.
Python frameworks are a bunch of pre-tested and reusable modules that allow you to use and extend upon so you don't have to reinvent the wheel.
Yes, frameworks will have differences in usability and code.
The computer will always need the dependencies, though you can package these in various ways aka create a package that has all your dependencies for the program to run.
If you want as few external dependencies as possible (but still a GUI) I would strongly suggest using a Web-Microframework like bottle (single file) and utilize the user's browser for rendering.
You can make a GUI without any external framework with HTML by setting up a webserver and using the user's browser to render it.
For a browser-GUI without an external Framework: Depending on whether you know JavaScript you can either use XML-RPC (xmlrpc.server+http.server with JS in the browser) or WSGI (wsgiref) (example on that page)
Yes, totally.
Of course the if you do not prepare for this case you cannot run a program without an integral part of it like a Framework - but you can distribute your program with the Framework included.
For XML-RPC
import xmlrpc.server
import http.server
class MyHandler(xmlrpc.server.SimpleXMLRPCRequestHandler,http.server.SimpleHTTPRequestHandler):
pass
This handler will serve files from the current working directory (your actual HTML-UI and JS for communication (there are several XMP-RPC libraries for JS)) but it can also be used like in the XML-RPC-Server example to glue your code and the UI together.
Sorry for the sort of general question, but I'm having a hard time figuring out how to start this. I'm trying to incorporate some natural language toolkit code in Python with a mobile app I'm developing in Unity. It's a very small amount of code, but it's critical for the functioning of the app.
Do I need to have the python code running on some kind of server? How would I go about doing this? I'm very new to python and mobile development.
Thanks.
Traditional/classic Python is implemented in C. This makes it easy to integrate into any environment that has support for compiled C.
I'm unfamiliar with Unity, but here are some general guidelines on how you would do it with standard iOS and Android. On iOS, you would just add all of the Python C source files (minus the ones that have a 'main' function) to your project in Xcode. On Android, you would add all of the C source files (again, minus the ones that have a 'main' function) to your project in the JNI part of your project and would use ndk-build to build a native shared library that would be part of your app.
Are you limited to Python? If not, you might want to have a look at Lua as it's much smaller (fewer C source files) and might be quicker to get going.
lately I have been trying to find a way to control applications on my ubuntu using python. What i want to achieve is something like what we can do with applescript in mac.... Control chrome send queries to it etc.
can someone please point me in the right direction as to how one can control applications using python, esp on Ubuntu...or a code snippet maybe?
Read about D-Bus: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D-Bus
Python dbus: http://dbus.freedesktop.org/doc/dbus-python/doc/tutorial.html
In order to control a process, it must be connected using dbus in the first place and exporting services. This is the same idea of AppleScript. On a mac, an application has to be exporting services that can be controlled over applescript.
PyQt/PySide has a DBus module as well: http://www.riverbankcomputing.co.uk/static/Docs/PyQt4/html/qtdbus.html
Have you taken a look at Project Sikuli?
