  You might take a look at Kivy .... 

    http://kivy.org/

  "It is built with Cython ( C extensions for Python ) 
   and, in order to create apps, Python knowledge 
   is required.

  The platforms currently supported are Linux, Windows, 
  Mac OS X and Android."

  The gallery is impressive ....

  I have very limited experience with Kivy
  using Debian Linux as the development platform
  and installing a couple of simple demo apps 
  on an ArchOS tablet running Android ICS ....

  Back at the first of this month I had problems
  trying to build android packages using 
  the newest versions of the android sdk / ndk packages 
  on Debian .... 

  Advice at the time was to drop back a version and try again 
  or wait for kivy versioning to catch up a bit ....
