Use python library in iOS

Question

I want to use a python library https://github.com/yann2192/pyelliptic in iOS to encrypt/decrypt.

I've gone through the following posts:

Is that possible to run a python built program on iOS as a static lib?

Embedding Python in an iPhone app

But found no luck.

Is there any way to do so?

What does "found no luck" mean? What did you try? What happened? If you successfully embedded Python in your ObjC app, then the way to use it from ObjC code is the same way you use it from C code, which is described pretty nicely in the official documentation. — abarnert

But meanwhile, why would you want to do this? pyelliptic is just a wrapper around OpenSSL, which is already available on iOS and which you can talk to directly as a C library. — abarnert

I use pythonista on my iPad and works perfectly with libraries compatible with python 2.7. If the library you wan to use depends only on the standard library (also numpy and matplotlib are supported) then it's easy (dependency to other libraries can be solved too, but takes more work). Simply, you need to copy/paste the library source in a plan script into pythonista and then you can import it from your script also running in pythonista. I am sure there are other software that do the same but I have experience only with that one.

Is there a library that includes sty for iOS devices such as iPhone 5s? I have the app Python Box, and it works perfectly fine, but it does not include the sty module.
