That's the first thing I tried, but it didn't work. You can upload photos and publications this way, but you can't access the advanced tools that let you program the publication ahead of time. Actually, using a web browser from a cellphone doesn't work either (I just checked). Meta justifies the choice to force people to use the mobile app by willing to "maintain the authenticity of the community"  Huh  .

The legacy APi is not python, and according to this page about publishing through the APi, it is not a language I am familiar to. It can be an option, but I hope I can save me the trouble My best hope for now is to manage to use a virtual machine or an emulator.

This looks like a very standard Web Services REST API. These are rather plain HTTP requests, that you can issue from a Python script using the requests module. There is a fairly detailed explanation there.
