Python on android

Question

Besides the official pygame port to android which requires python 2.7.1 which I like 3.4.1 better. Also besides Kivy, what is a way to put pygame or another python module on android?

If you're looking for ways of running Python on Android, I'd use Android Scripting. It provides support for python 2.x and exposes API's for calling hardware features on your droid. Note it is in an early state of development so I wouldn't use it for anything in production.

Hm. Would i be able to just use it in a prewritten python program by adding a couple of things it needs? – HKVariant Nov 11 '14 at 23:04

So it's designed to allow a more native experience by allowing you to embed a fully functional python interpreter within an Android environment. Unfortunately this does require a working understanding of both Java and Android's framework. You can also try downloading an app called [SL4A Script Launcher](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.androidideas.scriptlauncher) which allows you to select a python module to launch from your memory card. – David Smith Nov 14 '14 at 00:46
