Is it possible to make predictions with a keras/TensorFlow model without downloading TensorFlow and all its dependancies?

Question

I'm trying to use a custom keras model I trained with tensorflow-gpu on my desktop with Python on a mobile phone (Android), however I need to run it with Python on the phone as well. I looked up TensorFlow Lite, however that appears to be written for Java.

Is there any lite (Python) version of TensorFlow, some kind of barebones package that's just set up for making predictions from a TensorFlow/keras model file? I'm trying to focus on saving space, so a solution under 50mb would be desired.

Thanks

TensorFlow Serving was built for the specific purpose of serving pre-trained models. I'm not sure if it runs (or how difficult to make it run) on Android or what it's compiled footprint is, if it's less than 50MB. If you can make it work, please do report back here!
