You’re not going to be able to write a mobile application in the “available in the app store” sense of the word. However, you will be able to write a web page that is adaptive to mobile devices; you can also use HTML5 features like manifests to produce an app-like experience on mobile. The same goes for desktop apps - you can write something that will load in a browser, but unless you’re going to wrap that web page up in a single-page app loader (like Fluidapp [1]), you’re going to need different tools to write the desktop app. Kivy, on the other hand, can only be used to make standalone apps. To the best of my knowledge, there isn’t a “browser” option for Kivy - you’d be writing a Kivy app for the mobile app (and possibly a desktop app as well), with Django providing the server side (if a server-side is even needed - your requirements aren’t clear). However, Kivy apps aren’t really “native” - They *run* as native apps, but the widgets they expose are all custom-drawn Kivy widgets. Ivy takes the approach of having a common widget set across all platforms, rather than providing native widgets on each platform. I’d also be remiss if I didn’t point you in the direction of BeeWare [2] it’s a project that I’m working on to improve the story for developing Python applications for mobile. It’s still early days - definitely not as mature as Kivy - but if you’re willing to put up with plenty of sharp edges, and contribute to an early stage project, you can develop completely native mobile (and desktop) applications in Python.
