If you're on the android your options are limited. Indeed Python can work with other languages, but not all of them and not easily. The standard Python implementation, CPython, can really only glue together C or C++ stuff. Jython can do Java, and IronPython can work with anything that is using the .NET CLI. On the 'droid your best bet would probably be http://code.google.com/p/android-scripting/, but it's still very *very* limited. For webOS it looks like the only way you'll get Python is if you whip together a C(++) program that statically links to it. - -- Corey Richardson -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.17 (GNU/Linux) iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJN67V8AAoJEAFAbo/KNFvpv/MH/088lDJQqNlOHk/vKrzTjafQ Mn0ybNrk3sKozkL5GE/UdX+ESTxmAnYUnDBM2VFNEV/FjBxyDTLfLAGEzBNs2u4t LHvClprfW00xexm6wcOLMQHmR+peaPC5MGRIZgesP63istqkSNryxFAAlzRG9WW8 mJS8+r9BkQiSSDSdXDv2Jlk3/pNIwvMpp9Pwob9+O7IW4emSfqi1MtsTlkG9TnEv HI3YQuDCSVQWyWZpUup7wSqlyUMr3LY5TiOXal4SFNLIh8Tw30p9uSB7s10VBntv SURLH0pqTM7qWb7VKLCTRNwM5cda2pooXo/CPs/CdrG4mbWvyOiqpisihYrZQ5g= =plrm -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - [email protected] To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
