Is there a way to run Python on Android?
One way is to use Kivy:
Open source Python library for rapid development of applications
that make use of innovative user interfaces, such as multi-touch apps.
Kivy runs on Linux, Windows, OS X, Android and iOS. You can run the same [python] code on all supported platforms.
There is also the new Android Scripting Environment (ASE/SL4A) project. It looks awesome, and it has some integration with native Android components.
Note: no longer under active development, but some forks may be.

Yes! : Android Scripting Environment
An example via Matt Cutts via SL4A — here’s a barcode scanner written in six lines of Python code:
import android
droid = android.Android()
code = droid.scanBarcode()
isbn = int(code[result][SCAN_RESULT])
url = http://books.google.com?q=%d % isbn
droid.startActivity(android.intent.action.VIEW, url)
