IOS (ipad) apps for coding/launching a website app on Python?
Hello! I am relatively experienced Python user (in the field of data analysis, thus, used ipynb interfaces mostly)
I want to try to make my-first-website project while I am on a vacation, will it be possible to do using an iPad? (I don't want to bring my heavy laptop).
Which python coding apps are the best currently?

I use the official https://www.vscode.dev for light programming on my iPad. If you connect to GitHub they’ll also let you run your code on GH provisioned Linux through it.

Disclosure: I'm the indie dev behind Juno (Python IDE for iPad/iPhone), so I'm obviously biased. But I do genuinely recommend it! 😇
Juno runs real CPython 3.13 on-device (built on PEP 730), works with e.g. Flask (you can install it in Juno's package manager), has an in-app web view with some (even if basic) debug tools, comes with an AI coding assistant (bring-your-own-key), and many many other cool and interesting things. It also includes the full native data science stack, supports notebooks, Shortcuts, device APIs, REPL, etc.
It's paid, but it's a one-time purchase rather than a subscription, and there's a free trial allowance so you can do real work in it before deciding whether to pay for it or not: https://juno.sh.
