Try some of the available options on Android, based on the list:

• Chaquopy. Android Studio plugin. Builds into a native Android app.
• PyBee
  VOC => transpiles single modules into .class files. Does not convert the project dependencies but only individual python modules. Errors when running. No go.
• Kivy
  • Python for Android. Compiles only on Linux.
  • Buildozer
• QPython; can not install SQLAlchemy.
• PyDroid. Interpreter on Android. Works!
• Termux <= works! This is the option of choice.
