I had to install Python 3 on my Android phone recently and wanted
to run some proper Unix CLI tools on the phone to go with it. :-)

I did it by installing PRoot into a supported terminal emulator
running on Android, then unpacking a barebones Alpine Linux userland
image on top of that, and then installing Python 3 from the
Alpine software repository.

That's the kind of thing you can now do outside of the VMS world...

Simon.
