http://pygame.org also has a pygame subset for android which includes a port of cpython. Not all modules are included though. Some python packages are missing, and some pygame modules are not included too. However it works well enough for most games.

Just create a directory called pygame on your sd card and put your code in there. No need to mess around with setting up java.

Stay tuned, we're nearly finished with a release that includes Python 2.7.1 and various other goodies.

SL4A is still the way to go if you want access to a significant portion of the Android API, though.
