python-for-android
|
||
|
|
==================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
python-for-android is an open source build tool to let you package
|
||
|
|
Python code into standalone android APKs that can be passed around,
|
||
|
|
installed, or uploaded to marketplaces such as the Play Store just
|
||
|
|
like any other Android app. This tool was originally developed for the
|
||
|
|
`Kivy cross-platform graphical framework <http://kivy.org/#home>`_,
|
||
|
|
but now supports multiple bootstraps and can be easily extended to
|
||
|
|
package other types of Python app for Android.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
python-for-android supports two major operations; first, it can
|
||
|
|
compile the Python interpreter, its dependencies, backend libraries
|
||
|
|
and python code for Android devices. This stage is fully customisable,
|
||
|
|
you can install as many or few components as you like. The result is
|
||
|
|
a standalone Android project which can be used to generate any number
|
||
|
|
of different APKs, even with different names, icons, Python code etc.
|
||
|
|
The second function of python-for-android is to provide a simple
|
||
|
|
interface to these distributions, to generate from such a project a
|
||
|
|
Python APK with build parameters and Python code to taste.
