On the Python Argentina mailing list they shared the link to an Android application that adds support for writing programs in python; the application is called android-scripting, and it gives users a series of scripting languages, python among them.

The application lets you do the following:

  • Capture events
  • Start activities
  • Make phone calls
  • Send text messages
  • Scan barcodes
  • Location
  • Use text-to-speech: that is, you can generate accessible messages for blind people!

More information on the project's wiki. I hope to run some tests soon and translate some tutorials.
