Using python and matplotlib on android

Question

Is there a way to set up python 2.7.x + matplotlib on an android tablet so that you can run simple standard python code? I would like to be able to run the same scripts I ru

Answer 1

Is it easy, no.

Can it be done? Yes. I believe a skilled Python / Android developer could do it in 2 to 8 hours of effort.. It's a rare and complex request.

Why do I think it can be done? This sample: http://matplotlib.org/examples/pylab_examples/webapp_demo.html

Using a different library, and not abstracted for data without live hardware, this sample shows me that SL4A can do web-based graphics: http://www.smartphonedaq.com/android-python-ecg.page

Now, if you were talking native GUI graphics in Android - then I'm focused way too much on the web methods of publishing with SL4A ;)
