Notes from THP's EuroPython 2012 Talk]

back to the main Android porting page

These notes were compiled based on the ​Youtube video of ​THP's talk from EuroPython 2012 called ​Developing Android Apps completely in Python.

My notes are prefixed with MartinK: and written in italic.

PySide @ Android

Based on 3 projects:

• Python4Android - takes care of the Python interpreter
• Necessitas - provides Qt libraries for Android
• PySide - provides Python bindings for Qt

It should be possible to also use PyQt in place of PySide but THP was used to PySide so he used that.

MartiK: As PySide currently (January 2013) doesn't support Qt 5 at all but PyQt does, using PyQt might be needed for using Qt 5 on Android devices.
