Last time I checked this was not possible. There have been several projects to try and make this work and they have either been abandoned or never really got going. If/when someone does get this working you'd be running one virtual machine inside another virtual machine ... on a cellphone. With py2j you end up with Java source which is then compiled into simple java byte code by the java compiler of your choice and then translated to dalvik byte code by the android tools that were designed and optimized to do this sort of thing. Also, by targeting Java source you can tie into some of the existing Android tools that google developed for Eclipse. Python then becomes like a macro language for Java boosting productivity significantly. You'd write a quarter of the code, unit tests would run lightning fast and you could, if you wanted to, write your entire android app in a single concise .py file. :-D - lex -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
