https://awesomedetect.com/how-to-install-python-on-android-without-root-and-no-internet/

I have installed these apks but still through adb shell when i try to access or run the python interpreter its showing me the following errors.

   ASUS_Z010D:/data/user/0/com.googlecode.pythonforandroid/files/python/bin#
   ./python

   CANNOT LINK EXECUTABLE "./python": library "libpython2.7.so" not found

   Aborted

Kindly help me out with this issue..!

I need to install python and run the .py script in my android device.

Thanks in advance..!

  • Installing new binaries to the system itself, especially ones which require a lot of shared libraries, like Python, is going to be a nightmare. Why don't you install Termux, a compact Linux environment, and issue apt install python for the latest Python version, or apt install python2 for Python2, instead?

  • Have you tried PyDroid3 IDE ?

  • Do you always install APKs from Google Drive links on dodgy websites? That's a good way to get malware.

Depending on what your script is trying to do you may find QPython sufficient for your needs.

It is available free from the play store and provides a python 3 environment but with some limitations on the libraries available.

You can install python in Termux even without root. Run: pkg install python or python2.
