I'm looking for a simple python app, stand alone that i can run on my kindle, without an internet connection,  just to practice while i learn. (Just a simple terminal, and text editor, and python? like ubuntu offers.)


This is a list for learning Python, not the details of arbitrary locked-down proprietary platforms. You might be lucky and have a response from somebody who knows how to get Python working on a Kindle, but probably not.

Your best bet is to ask on a Kindle forum, or failing that, try on the main Python mailing list:

python-list at python.org

also available on Usenet:

comp.lang.python

Because there are a lot more people on that list, you have a better chance of finding someone with a Kindle who knows how to get Python working on it.

The first step should be to try goggling:

If you do get an answer on some other forum, please post the answer here so anyone searching the archives will find the answer.
