# Is there a way to run Python on Android?

like the [Android](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/13046/10-reasons-why-i-prefer-android-vs-iphone-ios) [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](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S60_%28software_platform%29) [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](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jython)exists, is there a way to let the snake and the robot work [together](https://yourviews.mindstick.com/view/80819/live-in-relationship-protecting-the-right-to-live-together)?

One way is to use Kivy:Open source Python library for rapid development of applications that make use of innovative user interfaces, such as multi-touch apps.Kivy runs on Linux, Windows, OS X, Android and iOS. You can run the same [python] code on all supported platforms.\
