Is it possible to run a Python method from a Flutter app?

Question

I created a face recognition method in Python that compares an image (from a parameter) to another one, from a local repository. I need it to be called from a Flutter front-end, is it somehow possible?

It can't be as an API request, since the application must also work offline.

Answer 1

No, there's no provided way to call directly into Python code from Dart, and by extension Flutter.

If this is absolutely critical to your application, you could theoretically call into a Python method from Java/Kotlin on Android using the approach described here and then pass the result back to Dart code via a MethodChannel. However, you're probably better off finding a Flutter plugin or Dart package that can do the work you need to perform.
