Years ago I used SL4A, Py4A to run Python scripts on Android but I
 don't think it has worked for several years:
<https://github.com/kuri65536/sl4a>
I see the ex-maintainer mentions using termux:
<https://github.com/kuri65536/sl4a/issues/50>

I've also used pydroid and I see that pydroid3 is in the
 playstore. It wasn't a paid app when I used it.

These days I use Kivy but I develop on a Linux PC and build an
 Android apk. Kivy provides a gui api which you can use in Python.
 (There's also a layout builder though I've not used it.) There
 used to be a Kivy Launcher app which would run a Kivy/Python
 script on Android but it's not it the playstore though it was a
 couple of years ago.
