Having never heard of QPython I've just looked it up, so for those who 
don't know from http://qpython.com/ it's "a script engine which runs 
Python programs on android devices".  I doubt if there is much 
experience on this list with it although you might get lucky.

I am aware though of http://bugs.python.org/issue23496 "Steps for 
Android Native Build of Python 3.4.2" which may be of interest.
