python for android anyone?

[rusi]

Ive been wanting to try the sl4a for a new android phone Ive got hold
of as spelt out at
http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/10940

Has anyone any experience/dos/donts for this?

I am writing this while the update of the android sdk is happening and
its taking forever.
So just wondering if its worth the effort.

Any specific tips will of course be welcome but also the general idea
-- is android really python friendly (yet)?

Thanks
