How to Run Python Code on Android Video Lecture - IT & Software

Can you tell me how to run Python code on
Android?
You could use QPython.
That sounds like a weird language hybrid,
like Java and Python's hybrid Jython.
That's a script engine for running Python
on Android.
Is it an IDE or a text editor?
QPython contains a Python interpreter, an
SL4 library that is like the dll files you
need for a Windows OS, text editor and everything
else a Python program needs to run.
So you can use QPython to run Python scripts
the same way JVM lets you run Java.
QPython runs the Python code of that particular
program and any associated files like from
a Python Egg project file from QRCode.
For a moment, I thought you meant the ugly
bar code stamps we see on everything.
No, this is different.
Well, same name, but different application.
Because this QRCode is literally to run Python
applications.
QPython has a console, the Python interpreter,
editor and everything else.
You can even use QEdit to edit the Python
scripts.
Is there a Qbert in there?
Only if you have a retro-classic version of
Dig Dugg on the phone.
What does Python let you do on the Android?
You can run apps like reminders, calculators
and the all important games.
I wonder if there are any other options.
Kivy runs on Android as well as a few other
smartphone operating systems.
Write code on that, and it'll run on the Android.
That sounds like Kiwi.
Their logo does look like a mutated Kiwi.
And unlike QPython, it has a multi-touch mouse
simulator.
That's pretty important when you're developing
code for a tablet.
There's also an Android scripting environment,
but I do not know enough about it to recommend
it.
Its biggest limitation is that they already
have to have ASE installed.
You don't want to make people install one
app to run another.
Java already drives people nuts with that.
Which is why you're talking about using Python
instead of Java for your app.
