How do I run Python scripts on Android devices?
There seem to be a bunch of different approaches; what are the advantages and disadvantages?
In no particular order (and likely missing some useful tools):
- Kivy Python framework
- Termux[1]
- Pyodide
- Scripting Layer for Android
- python-for-android
- Pydroid 3
- QPython
- Chaquopy[1:1]
- pyqtdeploy[1:2]
- Buildozer[1:3]
- Briefcase[1:4]
- Pyjnius
- Transcrypt
- Brython
- JavaScripthon
- JS2Py
- PyScript
- py2wasm
- PyPy.js
- MicroPython.js / MicroPython.wasm
- "RPython WASM"
- ... any others I've missed?
