At the command line (on my computer) I can type

given back the response i put in.
I type j , get 'j' back
Now on my phone i can do the same.
And here is the odd bit
If I type a number in, the response will be the number
type 4, get '4' back
but if i type in a letter I get an error, the same error as if i had
typed in the response to the command line.
NameError: name '<response to input request>" is not defined
What you describe is the symptoms of using different versions of Python.
In Python v3 (your computer?) input reads a string from the user.
In Python v2 input reads a string and evaluates it as code.
Thus a number evaluates to a number but a string is evaluated like a
variable name.
Presumably your Android is running your code under a v2 Python interpreter.
You can try putting raw_input() instead of input() in your code to see
if that fixes it. [input() in v3 is a renaming of input() and the
original input() function was removed.]
If that works for the simple test case you could try adding this at
the top of your script:
try: input = raw_input
except NameError: pass
But that only addresses one aspect of Python v2/3 incompatibility so
there will probably be other fixes needed. The best thing is to align
Python versions.
