Evaluate a script (e.g. Python) in Java for Android platform

Question

Is it possible to evaluate a string of python code (or Perl) from Java when developing Android applications?

I am trying to do something like evaluating a text-input script:

String script = text1.getText().toString(); String result = PythonRuntime.evaluate(script); text2.setText(result);

In case you weren't aware of it, the Android Scripting Environment might be useful to you, though I don't think it does exactly what you're looking for.

Jython and its derivatives should be able to do this. See also Jythondroid.
