Make easy to install on the phone.

[switham]

The obvious (but not easy) way is to package it as an Android app (.apk) that can be downloaded from the Google Play Store. But pyinthephone is so tedious to install on the phone now that there's room for big improvement short of that. For instance, a single python script that either included all the contents, or downloaded the contents, and installed it all.

This is about easy-to-install, not easy-to-run, which is a separate issue. Not all Android apps actually have an icon you can tap to start something. (For instance, the python interpreter just becomes part of SL4A.)

I don't know whether the Android app loader can automatically download and install dependencies (like SL4A and Python for pyinthephone), but if it can, make the package specify that.

The standard way for an app to get extra permissions [https://github.com//issues/12] like network permissions, is in the app package.
