+==== Building Python for Android (Kivi)====
+Based on [http://python-for-android.readthedocs.org/en/latest/prerequisites/ python-for-android documentation], built on Ubuntu 12.10 64-bit.
+
+Install prerequisites:
+{{{
+sudo apt-get install build-essential patch git-core ccache ant python-pip python-dev
+}}}
+
+On a 64-bit distro:
+{{{
+sudo apt-get install build-essential patch git-core ccache ant pip python-dev
+}}}
+
+Ensure you have the latest Cython version:
+
+{{{
+sudo pip install --upgrade cython
+}}}
+
+Python for Android (the Kivi one) seems to build only with NDK-r7, so the NDK in current Necessitas SDK (NDK-r8b) can't be used. Just download the r7 NDK unpack it somewhere and set the NDK path. 
+
+{{{
+wget http://dl.google.com/android/ndk/android-ndk-r7-linux-x86.tar.bz2
+tar xvf android-ndk-r7-linux-x86.tar.bz2
+}}}
+
+The Android SDK from Necessitas can be used, just make sure API 14 is installed.
+
+
+{{{
+cd python-for-android
+
+export ANDROIDSDK="<path to some android SDK that has API 14>"
+export ANDROIDNDK="<path to android ndk>"
+export ANDROIDNDKVER=r7
+export ANDROIDAPI=14
+
+./distribute.sh -m "pyjnius kivy" -f
+}}}
+
+== Having build issues ? ==
+* try to build on Ubuntu 12.04 with NDK r7
+* try the [http://python-for-android.readthedocs.org/en/latest/android/#prebuilt-virtualbox Virtualbox image] pre-configured for building Python for Android
