Sample project demonstrating Python on iOS, using native native UI (Apple UIKit).
Grab prebuilt framework from: https://github.com/dimaqq/Python-Apple-support/releases/download/3.6.1-b1/Python-3.6-iOS-support.b1.tar.gz
Note:
- branch corresponds to Python version (i.e. use 3.5)
- package corresponds to target device (e.g. iOS for iPhone)
Unpack it at at top level of repository, so that it looks like this:

Start XCode with open Dishuhu\ Malala\ Arkuyaya.xcodeproj, select target device, run with ⌘R. Simulator should show up and start this app.
For example, to use trunk Objective C bindings, do:
pip install -t app_packages https://github.com/pybee/rubicon-objc/archive/master.zip --upgrade
I'll try to show equivalent calls for Swift, Objective-C and Python.
Instantiate some class, that is create an object. new is same as alloc+init if no arguments are used.
# let x = UIViewController()
x = ObjCClass("UIViewController").new()
# UIViewController *x = [[UIViewController alloc] init];
x = ObjCClass("UIViewController").alloc().init()
Same with arguments
# let x = UINavigationController(rootViewController: root)
# INavigationController *x = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController: root];
x = ObjCClass("UINavigationController").alloc().initWithRootViewController_(root)
Colors
# UIColor.blue()
# [UIColor blueColor]
ObjCClass("UIColor").blueColor()
