I'd say Android is quite a common platform these days, although I'd concur that it's not particularly easy to run Python OOTB on. :)

I've been looking into this, and the only option provided by the Android NDK involves cross-compiling Python on a regular machine. This would require some custom commands before and in between the builds, to build a host Python first, then cross-compile the Android Python, and then start the emulator, transfer the binaries there and run the tests over adb. Can buildbot provide functionality so this can be configured on-slave, or would it require setting up a seperate master?
