Using Python android.py module without SL4A

Question

Is there a way to use android.py module without installing SL4A?

I mean I have Python running on android successfully from Terminal Emulator. Can I use that module without installing that layer (or if I can't install it anymore)?

if android.py doesn't depend on any other SL4A libraries, you can copy it in python lib and start using... — avasal

@avasal: unfortunately, it needs some connection that sl4a creates when starts the server. — alexeyprog

No, because the SL4A package provides the facade to make device API calls, acting as a middleman. Without it you might be able to import it, but you could not be able to make any API calls.
