Python code translation in JVM

Is there such a thing as a “translator” (due to the lack of a better word in my mind right now) that translates Python code directly into JVM / Dalvik bytecode?

It would be great to write Android applications in Python!

NOTE . I know about the scripting capabilities of the Android platform, but I'm looking for something that could generate a “.apk” without installing the “scripting” package ... annoying for end users.

Yes you can go to the Java bytecode using jythonc. Although I'm not sure how well this will work with the Dalwick format, there are subtle differences.

edit : apparently there was a project jythonroidwhose purpose is what you want, but they abandoned it in favor of SL4A

A tool called dx is used to convert some (but not all) Java.class files to .dex format.

Let us know if this works.
