Android is a modified version of Linux. The shared library locations were appended to sys.path. the relocatable path /data/data/local is one of the location that other folks had recommended placing shared libraries. My SG3 is rooted, thus I was able to place the shared libraries in /data/data/local and set the file permissions. I have also started looking at how to access the tcp server from my python code. So far no progress there.

So far the python code installed under /mnt/sdcard/sl4a/scripts is unable to find the librtlsdr shared libraries installed in /data/data/local with that location appended to sys.path.  Does android run linux? Seems like a python question. In linux i would check on PYTHONPATH or other similar pyVariables...
