Reading around suggests that HIPS/polystyrene is tricky to work with,
the cut edges are prone to puffing up.

Native Android applications are written in Java not python.

There are 3rd party products to make python work, but the same is true
for just about every language, and you'll be jumping through hoops to
interface to the system java APIs. 

Likewise you can write android apps in C/C++ with the official tools,
but you spend most of the time calling interfaces to the java system API
and dealing with the consequences of the conversions.
