Nope, jython compiles to java bytecode, but is not designed to work
also on the Davilk VM, and afaik all forks of jython for android are
dead.[0]
In order to run some python code on Android for APAF, I have used
SL4A[1], which is a little tricky, but seems more actively developed
and ports a few external libraries which could be useful - i.e.
pyCrypto.
