I wanted to use the bitarray module. I typed the command $ pip3 install bitarray. It was successfully installed, but it reported an error when I tried to import it.
Code:
import bitarray
Error message:

I thought the problem is that I installed the bitarray 3.0.0 version, which does not support my iPadOS 17.6 operating system. I tried to install the 2.7.3 version like this:$ pip3 install bitarray==2.7.3. Bitarray 2.7.3 was successfully installed (it also said the 3.0.0 version was successfully uninstalled), but the same error message appeared when I tried to import bitarray.
I’m using Python 3.11, what should I do?
PyPI packages generally cannot directly run on mobile devices because mobile operating systems (iOS and Android) do not natively support Python execution.
However you can use Juno or Pythonista which provides a Python development environment for iPad and iPhone.
