A new Project Python For Android

A project named Python For Android has been launched to create a package of your Python app into .apk. It is a Open Source project under the maintenance of Kivy Organisation.

It currently only has one bootstrap which decompresses the packed application's files and creates an OpenGL ES 2.0 surface for drawing and it also sets audio and touch events to be accessed.

              export ANDROIDAPI=14
