Introducing "Python for Android"

How is it different from ASE (<a href="http://code.google.com/p/android-scripting/" rel="nofollow">http://code.google.com/p/android-scripting/</a>)?

If you like ruby there is a similar project for JRuby and I believe you can access the whole Android API:<p><a href="http://ruboto.org/" rel="nofollow">http://ruboto.org/</a>

Very interesting. I wonder if it allows interaction with existing Android libraries / capabilities (eg. for building UIs) or if it's separate.<p>Also, would be great if there was a sample app to download and try so one can get a sense of what the final product looks / feels like.

Does this run on all versions of Android?

I was hoping that this was a version of Python that could run on Android (like awk can).

I am curious to how fast/slow python interpreted apps will be on mobile. On the desktop at-least, Java code runs <i>much</i> faster than python code.

So awesome! thank you :-)
