There are a few implementations of python for android, at least one of which appears to be a proper implementation,
http://code.google.com/p/python-for-android/ . I was looking at porting OP25 to GRAnd but too much of it is written in python and who wants to write in Java anyways.
Thanks to Tom's efforts in producing an android-specific port of the core GR pieces, I've had some luck getting the entire stack bootstrapped in Android 5 (see attached screen print -- the "warning" is just a debug printf, ignore it ;-).
Here is just a bare bones overview of the synopsis of an outline of what's necessary. There's no new code, only build scripts for now plus a few patches all scattered over 4-5 machines+VMs, to get stuff to build:
1) rebuild the NDK toolchain compiler collection, to enable fortran (arm-linux-androideabi/gcc4.8; not necessary to rebuild anything else)
2) using (1), build arm versions of libblas and liblapack
3) using (1) and (2), plus the patched python-for-android libs (see link at top) build android numpy (with ATLAS=None)
4) Build the android branch of gnuradio (and prereqs) with -DENABLE_PYTHON=True and -DENABLE_STATIC_LIBS=False. Also -DPYTHON_LIBRARY=, -DPYTHON_INCLUDE_DIR=, and -DPYTHON_EXECUTABLE= are set appropriately.
After step (4) in attempting "make install" there is currently a crash (which can apparently be worked-around by simply prepopulating /opt/grandroid/include/gnuradio). Would that crash be difficult to fix?
Ultimately of course there needs to be more detailed documentation for all this, currently the focus is to get some app(s) together for OP25 (which just compiled cleanly for linux-arm for the first time today). Longer term there is the entire issue of tuning, use of floating point hardware, and all...
