Android is based on Linux Kernel so it's 100% possible to run python.
There are plenty of ways to run python Programs in Android, we'll discuss few of them here. So let's start our journey.
#1 QPython
When it comes to run Python Programs, Scripts on Android, first name came to my mind is QPython developed by QPythonLab
It has so much features that you'll love it. It has Terminal emulator , Python REPL , Powerful Editor, Many python libraries, Run scripts via QR code , PIP , courses and much more.
But it's drawback is when You install it first from Play Store it comes with Python 2 , you've to install Python3 plugin to use Python 3.

#2 PyDroid 3
PyDroid is less known python IDE for Android and is also My Favourite . I like it because of it's simplicity , extra features that QPython fails to provide. With PyDroid you can even create GUIs, games and much more. PyDroid is developed by IIEC
It's specially designed for educational purposes. Most of popular Machine Learning and Data Science python libraries are available, making it ideal for testing and experimenting On-The-Go
