nx-python is an ecosystem for developing and running Python homebrew applications on the Nintendo Switch.

PyNX serves as the entry point to running Python apps on your Switch. It is a homebrew app that contains a port of the CPython interpreter and allows you to run Python applications from the Homebrew Menu.

Currently, Python 3.5 is supported. Documentation can be found on ReadTheDocs.

Installation

Place the PyNX.nro to the /switch/ folder on the SD card.

Python homebrew applications can be a single .py file or a directory containing a main.py file.
