Wow, that project looks great. But, if I only wanna play around with Python it seems a little bit oversized. Anyway it seems to become one of my most used apps on my phone when traveling. I for long time looked for something like this because the use of the default Android terminal utilities really is a pain. Very nice suggestion. Thanks for that! Another way I used Python on Android was Kivy [0]. But it is very different because it is made for building GUI applications for Android using Python. But the nice thing is, that you can package your Python scripts into a native APK containing an own Python inteerpreter. So, think of, building a small application where you can bind your Python code to some buttons and execute it when clicking. Not very useful when you need the output but very useful when you have some tasks you wanna execute with just one click... ;) Johannes [0] http://kivy.org -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
