Jythonroid does generate Dalvik bytecode, albeit the ugly way by generating standard JVM bytecode first and then translating it to Dalvik. The biggest issues are: 1.) I was not able to compile trunk jythonroid; I didn't try to hard. 2.) It's based on the old Jython 2.2 version (probably), not on the newer Jython 2.5 release candidates. 3.) For writing complete applications, there are some issues, because Android expects classes with fixed names for your Activities and other classes. > > I am not aware of an existing Perl-on-JVM or PHP-on-JVM that could be > used as the basis for a similar port. JRuby (http://en.wordpress.com/tag/jruby-android/) might be a better choice for the moment.
