Getting Python All Up in Your Mobile with Kivy
summary
Kivy is a Python GUI framework that runs on Windows, Linux, OS X, Android (2.3+), and iOS and compiles to a native C Python interpreter; a minimal Kivy APK is about 6 MB. Packaging uses Python-for-Android recipes (≈30 common recipes) but Buildozer simplifies packaging by automating SDK/NDK, distribution and adb install/run. Native access uses PyJNIus for Java and PyOBJus for Objective‑C while Plyer abstracts native APIs (accelerometer, GPS, TTS, battery, camera). About 50 contest apps were runnable; demos include an app developed largely on an Android device.
