Developers have an open-source toolkit presented that a Python script can convert into an Android apk. Not all Python modules are supported, and the tool works only with the Kivy-ontwikkeltoolkit.
With Python for Android allows developers to Python scripts is relatively easy to convert an Android apk. The tool works only with applications in the Kivy development environment have been made, but according to a developer of the toolkit, which itself Kivy cooperate, it is the source code to adapt it so that other development frameworks are supported.
The toolkit supports a number of Python modules, including sqlite3, pygame, ffmpeg and openssl. If an apk with the toolkit is generated is executed, the scripts are extracted, and the OpenGL ES 2.0 api for embedded systems used to place objects on the screen to draw.
The toolkit is only tested under Ubuntu 11.10, but should also on other X environments should run. There are more toolkits for Python scripts on Android, including Google itself, but that made it not possible to have the whole script in a single, self-extracting apk, bundle.
