Is there a way to run Python on Android?

Answer 1

QPython

I use the QPython app. It's free and includes a code editor, an interactive interpreter and a package manager, allowing you to create and execute Python programs directly on your device.

Answer 2

Take a look at BeeWare. It has grown significantly. It is awarded with PSF (Python Software Foundation) Education Grant.

Beeware's aim is to be able to create native apps with Python for all supported operating systems, including Android.

Answer 3

Yes! : Android Scripting Environment

An example via Matt Cutts via SL4A -- "here’s a barcode scanner written in six lines of Python code:

import android
droid = android.Android()
code = droid.scanBarcode()
isbn = int(code['result']['SCAN_RESULT'])
url = "http://books.google.com?q=%d" % isbn
droid.startActivity('android.intent.action.VIEW', url)

Answer 4

From the Python for android site:

Python for android is a project to create your own Python distribution including the modules you want, and create an apk including python, libs, and your application.
