Python3Android 311.22.1.19

Python3Android

A NuGet package that provides Python 3.11.13 runtime for Android applications. This package allows you to run Python code directly in your Maui Android applications.

Installation

Add the package to your .NET Android project using the NuGet Package Manager:

<PackageReference Include="Python3Android" Version="311.22.1.14" />

Or install via the Package Manager Console:

Install-Package Python3Android

Package Version Numbering

Python_Version.Min_Android_Framework.Package_Version

Python versions are squashed, so python 3.8 becomes 38. (Future: 3.10 → 310, 4.0 → 400)

Min_Android_Frame work is the minimum android framework that the Maui application must target. 22 is Android 5.1.

Requirements

• .NET 9.0 or later
• Android API 22 or later
• .NET MAUI project

Usage

Here's a simple example of how to run Python code in your Android application:

using Python3Android;

public class PythonExample
{
    public async Task RunPythonCode()
    {
        // Install Python environment
        var androidPythonEnvironment = await AndroidPythonEnvironment.Create();

        // Run Python code
        string pythonCode = @"
def greet(name):
    return f'Hello, {name}!'

result = greet('Android')
print(result)
";
        string result = androidPythonEnvironment.RunCode(pythonCode);
        Console.WriteLine(result); // Outputs: Hello, Android!
    }
}

Features

• Includes Python 3.11.13 runtime for Android
• Native library support (.so files)
• Python standard library included (python311.zip)
• Compatible with Android API 22 and later

Package Contents

The package includes:

• Native Python libraries (.so files)
• Python standard library (python311.zip)
• Build targets for proper integration

Notes

• The Python runtime is automatically included in your Android application's assets
• You need to call await AndroidPythonEnvironment.Create() to get a initialized AndroidPythonEnvironment instance which allows running Python code
• The Python environment only needs to be installed once per app session.
• AndroidPythonEnvironment.Create() will only run the install, if not already installed, or the nuget package has been updated. (So it's safe to run each time your app starts.)
