The QPython app contains:
Python programming on Android
Run scripts / projects
IDE on Android
Pip (package manager)
SL4A for Android access (GPS, network, bluetooth and many more)
Please do note QPython is a scripting engine, similar to SL4A, and not an app development platform.
Installation
On the Google Playstore you can find both QPython (Python 2.7.2) and QPython3 (Python 3.2.2). We recommend going with Python 3.2.2 but you may want to use Python 2.7.2 for legacy reasons.

Usage
Once installed you will find yourself in an iconic menu. The first icon will open the Python interpreter.

IDE
The second icon (Editor) will start the Python IDE. It has syntax highlighting and some other features. While its useful to have an IDE on the Android device, typing on a mobile or tablet may not be your preference. All scripts are stored in /storage/emulated/0/com.hipipal.qpyplus/scripts. You can upload directly to this directory from your favorite editor on the desktop. (The run button is at the bottom
