The current state of the Android port:

    http://thp.io/2011/pyside-android/

It's still not perfect (read: polished). It needs to be upgraded to a
newer version of the Qt SDK (Necessitas) and it should probably also
re-use an existing SL4A/Py4A installation instead of having a custom
installation in /data/python/. Alternatively, one could think about
bundling the required Python modules + libpython with the .apk or make
it a module for Necessitas/Ministro.

This probably needs some coordination with the Necessitas (Qt for
Android) project, and it should probably also upgrade to the
qt-project.org-based PySide (with the new Shiboken that has
apiextractor and generatorrunner included).

If you have any questions about the Android port, feel free to ask.

HTH :)
