Hello,
I have found a promising project which allows to integrate python code
on Android and would like to extend your wiki page to share it with
wider audience.
A wiki page is:
https://wiki.python.org/moin/Android <https://wiki.python.org/moin/Android>
A project is:
https://www.jython.org/ <https://www.jython.org/>
Because non-authorised users can not do this, I share it with you
according to this page <https://wiki.python.org/moin/FrontPage#use> info.
If you do add Jython, perhaps include a note about its status. This is a
well known implementation mentioned elsewhere on the Python wiki, but
the project... how to put this politely - "isn't getting a lot of love".
It's not "dead", that would be too harsh, releases are still being made.
Most of the Python community considers Python 2 a dead language; Jython
does not run the current Python language specification, called Python 3
(which has been out for 15 years now). There is a project in existence
to make this happen, which includes a substantial revamp of Jython, but
there's no public indication that it's making any real progress.
The current, possibly outdated, comment inthe FAQ in Jython's own wiki
(which is hosted by python.org) might be instructive:
https://wiki.python.org/jython/JythonFaq/GeneralInfo#Can_I_use_Jython_to_make_apps_for_mobile_phones.3F
The python wiki is also discouraging (remember, on wikis, somebody has
to update information, and for statements of this type, it's hard to
tell if up to date or not):
"Although Android's primary programming language is Java, there is no
known port of Jython to the platform. "
