Reacted by hackerrAgreed that if you want to use Python on iOS, building it yourself is almost certainly not what you want to do; but if you do need to compile it for some reason, the iOS README contains details.

Feature or enhancement
Proposal:
CPython can be configured to build an iOS Framework; however, the redistributable unit of pre-compiled code on iOS is an XCframework that contains a "slice" for each supported ABI (device and simulator).
The construction of an XCframework is currently documented in the iOS/README.rst, but these instructions should be codified so there is a simple interface to build and test an iOS XCframework.
This script would be an analog of the script used to build and test Android release products.
Has this already been discussed elsewhere?
