This is a package for Python 3.12.5. It was created to provide a modern, up-to-date Python environment for jailbroken devices, as most other available versions are outdated.

The build includes ssl, ctypes, and pip. The project is fully open-source, and the build script is available on GitHub:

https://github.com/k1tty-xz/python3.12-ios-arm64-deb

Installation

1. Add Repo:

https://k1tty-xz.github.io/

2. Install Package: Python 3.12 for iOS (arm64)

Required Setup

To enable pip for installing packages, run the following command in a terminal after installation:

python3.12 -m ensurepip --upgrade

After that, you can use pip3.12 install <package> to install libraries.

Important Note on Package Compatibility (Wheels)

Not all packages from PyPI will install successfully. Many packages are distributed as pre-compiled "wheels" for standard platforms like Linux or Windows. Since there are no wheels for jailbroken iOS, pip will try to build these packages from source.

For this to have a chance of working, you will likely need to install common developer tools from your package manager (Sileo/Zebra), such as:

  • clang
  • make
  • pkg-config

Even with these tools, packages with complex C extensions or other system dependencies may still fail to build. Pure Python packages are the most likely to install without any issues.
