Has anybody ever tried to run ansible on android? I've attempted to set it up via Qpython's pip\_consoly.py and it fails with install of pycrypto. System has pycrypto-2.5 pre-installed however I'm assuming ansible pulls in 2.6

You might have more luck with termux which might have the extra apt packages required for the build dependencies.
