In addition, there are a number of projects which are inactive or incomplete:
- SL4A (Scripting Layer for Android), originally named ASE (Android Scripting Environment), is a set of "facades" which expose a greatly-simplified subset of the Android API. The project was originally developed within Google, but is no longer supported by them. However, a fork of the library is distributed with QPython.
PySide (the Python binding for the Qt toolkit) has some preliminary support for Android.
Although Android's primary programming language is Java, there is no known port of Jython to the platform.
