Chaquopy: Python for Android

Malcolm Smith

About this app

The Chaquopy SDK is the easiest way to use Python in your Android apps. It's distributed as a plugin for the standard Android build system. Download and installation is automated via Gradle, and takes only 5 minutes.

This open-source app is a demonstration of what you can build with Chaquopy. It includes:

* A REPL (read-eval-print loop) for interactive experimentation.
* An example of an Android activity written entirely in Python.
* An example of how to use a Python library in a normal Java activity.
* The SDK's complete unit test suite.

The core of Chaquopy is a lightweight but flexible Python/Java language interface, allowing you to access Java from Python or Python from Java. Freely intermix the two languages in your app, using whichever one is best for each situation. Most PyPI packages can also be automatically downloaded and built into your app.

For more details, see the Chaquopy website (https://chaquo.com/chaquopy), or view this app's source code on GitHub (https://github.com/chaquo/chaquopy).

Ratings and reviews

This app has fully developed idle. The experience is same as coding in the actual idle in pc. I would recommend this app if you are learning python and want to get used to the idle terminal platform. Writing long python scripts in this app would be a pain. I love the simplicity of this app. There are not ads whatsoever.

Making the python's path global will be better, rather than placing it in root directory. And please add a python text editor. That will be best. Can you make this a full ide like qpython3? I will be grateful to you.

Not as feature rich as some but the "copy and paste" is flawless!! Now I just need to learn python........ I've been saying that for 2 years probably......ughhh.

What's new

* Fix duplication of Enter keypresses on API level 34.
* Increase targetSdk to API level 35, and disable edge-to-edge layout.
