Deploy to Android: Adventures of a Hobbyist
summary
Kivy proves it can take a Python app to device: the widget set plus the scatter widget gives pinch zoom rotate for free, Buildozer compiles the interpreter and produces an APK, and Kivy uses pyjnius to call Android APIs though intent handling has wrinkles so receiving new intents while running is buggy. Pygame Subset for Android ports games easily — a 1,200 line space game needs about ten lines changed — but it is Python 2.7 only and often requires a UI rewrite for touch and lifecycle handling.
