The article you mention says:

"I realize that there is an effort in Android to make Python and other
scripting languages available to some degree, but from what I have
seen they are relegated to macro like functionality. In other words,
you wont be able to create full blown stand alone Python applications
in Android. The N900, on the other hand, will allow this. Even the GUI
side of the applications can be created with well known Python
toolkits like PyGTK and PyQt."

That impression came from this blog:

Are you saying that one can write full blown stand alone Android
applications in Python, GUI and all.
