Execute Python script from Android app in Java?

Question

I am trying to find a way to execute a Python script from my Java code in Android. I did a research on this matter but the only thing I found is, how I can convert python scripts in APK for android (Kivy e.t.c.).

More specifically I have a script which contains a lot of functions.What i want to do is to create an object based on this python script inside my java code and via this object to call my functions.

I can't convert my Python code into Java, because I use various libraries that exists only in python.

Any advice would be helpful and deeply appreciated.

The following a snippet of my Python script. I use the library charm for cryptography.

from charm.core.math.integer import integer,serialize,deserialize
class serializeClass:
    def __init__(self)
        ...

    def serialize(self, charm_object):
        assert type(charm_object) == integer, "required type is integer, not: ", type(charm_object)
        return serialize(charm_object)

    def deserialize(self, object):
        assert type(object) == bytes, "required type is bytes, not: ", type(object)
    return deserialize(object)

You can use SL4A project which would allow you run your Python code on Android.
