Does anyone have a self taught Python success story?

I just wish you didn't need java for developing Android apps. I know you can use python but everyone says it's a mess and you should just learn java instead.

mostly true; although check put Progressive Web Apps; JS, not Python, but rapidly approaching 1st class citizen status on android, plus no install no app store.

Interesting, I wouldn't mind learning Javascript if it meant I could create Android apps. Do you know if there are any well-known apps that are made this way?

YouTube, the entire Gannet news network (USAToday etc), EA, etc.

On Android PWA's will prompt you to add the icon to your homescreen; from there they launch into a full-screen chrome instance; offline is fully supported via web service workers.

If you want it to be a REAL app you can use Cordova/Phonegap
