title: How to integrate Python scripting in my Android App (like SL4A)
body: <p>I need to add scripting layer to my android App. So I can remotely prepare a script that my app download form a web service and execute on the user device.</p>
  
  <p>I found a interesting project called <strong>Scripting Layer for Android (SL4A)</strong> here:</p>
  
  <p><a href="http://code.google.com/p/android-scripting/" rel="noreferrer">http://code.google.com/p/android-scripting/</a></p>
  
  <p>I'm not sure I can execute Python script without installing the PythonForAndroid_r4.apk first. I can't force my customer to install that application!</p>
  
  <p>So my question is, can the SL4A layer be integrated in my app without the need to install other apk?</p>
  
  <p>I need to execute actions like update data in the DB, create/read/delete a file on the sd card... Not so complex but I see SL4A can do a lot of things like these.</p>
  
  <p>Other scripting libraries?</p>
  
  <p><strong>EDIT</strong>:
  Found also MVEL: <a href="http://mvel.codehaus.org/" rel="noreferrer">http://mvel.codehaus.org/</a> but I think it needs to be integrated to execute complex operations like accessing a DB...</p>
