# How to run Python on Android?

I like the Android [platform](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/13080/wikipedia-the-most-powerful-advertising-platform-of-the-digital-age). Actually, with some [friends](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/31396/where-did-the-suggest-to-friends-feature-go), we even participate in the ADC with the Spoxt project.\
But Java is not my favourite [language](https://www.mindstick.com/startup/28/preply-the-fast-growing-platform-transforming-language-learning) at all. We are working on an S60 [version](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/12845/things-to-remember-while-migrating-odoo-to-a-better-version) and this platform has a nice [Python API](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/102685/can-you-describe-the-functions-of-google-s-earth-engine-python-api-for-developers). Of course there is nothing [official](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/93540/is-kidszone-different-from-official-mindstick) about Python on Android, but since Jython [exists](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/158947/how-do-you-use-the-exists-operator-to-check-for-the-existence-of-records-in-a-subquery), is there a way to let the snake and the [robot](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/157095/the-future-of-industrial-robots) work [together](https://yourviews.mindstick.com/view/80819/live-in-relationship-protecting-the-right-to-live-together)

Use Kivy or Matt Cutts .There is also the new Android Scripting Environment (ASE) project. It looks awesome, and it has some integration with native Android components.There's also [SL4A](http://code.google.com/p/android-scripting/) .Currently **[Buildozer](https://github.com/kivy/buildozer)** and **[python](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/75378/simple-yet-useful-tips-when-using-python)-for-android** are most recommended tools to build/package your apps\

Another option if you are looking for 3.4.2 is this archive on github

[https://github.com/rave-engine/python3-android](https://github.com/rave-engine/python3-android)

It currently supports Python 3.4.2 and the 10d version of the NDK. It can also support 3.3 and
