PythonOnXcode
Example Project that set up for python Programming Using Xcode to execute python’s code.
Currently I’m working with a project that involve with Python Programming. So I need to start up to learn about python programming. However, I don’t like to use with Python REPL. And for now i decided to use Xcode instead then i’m trying to find the best solution for make my work easy more and more.

Ok, These is some step i need to set up my project.
Step 1: Install Python 3.6
You can download and install with this url: https://www.python.org/downloads/sdfsdf or install with Homebrew: or Python 3:
$ brew install python3
This will take a minute or two.
Step 2: Locate python3
for me i use tcsh, so where python3 reports /usr/local/bin/python3. The location is surely the same for you, but I don’t know what the equivalent for where is in bash.
Step 3: Create an Xcode project
File > New > Project > Cross-platform > External Build System > Next.
Enter a name (e.g. PythonOnXcode), and enter the path from Step 2 into the “Build Tool” line. Click Next.
Navigate to whatever location you like, and click Create.
Step 4. Create a Python file
Choose File > New, select macOS > Other > Empty. Click Next.
You should already be in your project’s top level folder. If not, go there. Name your file Whatever.py, choosing whatever name you like. I went with Work.py. Make sure the “add to target Python” box is checked. Click Create.
Step 5. Edit your Run Scheme
Click and hold on the PythonOnXcode target in the jump bar. Select Edit Scheme… The Run scheme displays, with the Info tab selected.
Step 6. Choose the Executable
I warn you now that this step is going to be delicate, fragile, and stupid. That’s because Xcode, for whatever reason, will not let you use the symbolic link at /usr/local/bin/python3. I don’t know why. In the Info tab. Select “Other” from the Executable pop-up list. A file selection dialog appears.
When dialog pop, Go to Terminal then Type: cd /usr/local/bin
Type open /usr/local/bin
Right Click on Python3.6 then select Show Original
Get in to that location in terminal and Type ln python3.6 python36
Type open .
Drag python36 to Choose an executable to launch dialog box.
Select python36 then click choose button.
Step 7. Add Launch Arguments
Now, click the Arguments tab. Click + under “Arguments Passed On Launch” and type $(SRCROOT)/ followed by the name of the Python file you created in Step 4.
Step 8. Testing with python code
Finished
Thanks and i hope it can help you to getting start python with xcode. If you have any question, Feel free to ask and I will answer as can as possible. If you like it. please share it around. Happy Coding …… :)
