I looked at this a while back and the python API was a bit limited, the main
problem was that the GUI stuff isn't really exposed.  If that was then
porting series 60 python apps would be pretty easy I think.

Another option for python on these things might be mono + ironpython.   I
recall seeing someone had mono working, so in theory you can run ironpython
on that -- though this sounds too much like hard work for me.

What would be really nice would be to have python running directly on the
dalvik virtual machine, but I haven't seen anything on that since the early
days of Android.   I seem to recall that the initial dalvik couldn't really
support a dynamic language like python.
