I think this is a mistake. iOS is not a normal platform, it offers no backwards compatibility guarantees. Apple can add new restrictions or remove APIs at any time. This means that Python can’t offer backwards compatibility guarantees either.
Moreover it’s expensive to develop for iOS as you need a semi-recent Mac. You can’t even virtualize MacOS because Apple bans virtualizing it except on Apple hardware. That matters for an open source project where everybody should be able to contribute.
The better way to do this would be for Apple to contribute iOS support themselves. To have a good experience with Apple you really need someone on the inside who can cut through the BS (though sometimes even that doesn’t help).
