Java and Python?

I have a Java (Android) program that I want to extend with Python (think addons/plugins), what do you recommend?

You should look at apps with similar functionality and learn how they achieve it. Why do you want to use Python instead of Java? Your question is pretty vague and /r/python is probably not the place to ask a question about Android/Java.

Pyjnius (https://github.com/kivy/pyjnius) is probably what you are looking for.Its used by kivy to use & extend java classes.
