Never heard of sl4a, ... OK I did a search.
Its a scripting interface to the Android API that
supports Python.

It looks interesting, next time I have a spare week
I'll need to investigate in more detail. Thanks for the
pointer.

What I meant was that the OPs Tkinter program wouldn't
work on Android (or any of the other "standard" Python
GUI toolkits).
