I have Pythonista on my iPad, and it seems to be a pretty complete
implementation of Python and the standard libraries. It doesn't have Tkinter
or ttk, but does have a "scene" library that supports GUI interfaces and games.
It has a fairly active discussion forum and if you Google Pythonista you will
get hits to several reviews - all positive. At $6.95, it would be worth
checking out.
