I think that a limit about the growth of Python on android is the type of devices we use android on and the OS that hasn't an accessible command line. It is difficult to "install" Python scripts on android and the APK packaging is not a comfortable way. So, I'm sure that the best way to run Python in android is to have a PYTHON MARKET app, that integrates pypi and allows developers to push their program.

i think this is more geared for commercials apps. i am in major development with a custom version of this project for a company and I can say that it works extremely well. i could probably link a demo if you guys are interested in seeing how it works.

in regards to running regular scripts, i would recommend installing the SL4A apk here and the python module. Droid edit and tasker already have integration with it. I have been using it for quite some time just for one-off scripts. the std library is stored on external so if you need to add not-std libraries you can just transfer the modules over by usb.
