completely optional / just an idea.

you could make this a dictionary:

    ATTRIBUTES_TO_SWAP = {
        'paddingLeft' : 'paddingRight',
        ...,
        'layout_toLeftOf': 'layout_toRightOf'}

    for k, v in ATTRIBUTES_TO_SWAP.items():
        ATTRIBUTES_TO_SWAP[v] = k

then below you can just say

    mirrored_attribute_name = ATTRIBUTES_TO_SWAP.get(attribute_name)
    if mirrored_attribute_name:
        ...
    elif attribute_name in ['gravity', ''']:
        ...

I'd get the resource type and list of qualifiers here:

    dir_pieces = res_sub_dir.split('-')
    resource_type = dir_pieces[0]
    qualifiers = dir_pieces[1:]

    if 'ldrtl' in qualifiers:

I like that much better. Thanks. Done.

I'd add a comment here about why it's OK to insert ldrtl as the first qualifier.
(because it's _almost_ at the top of
http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/resources/providing-resources.html#...
and we never use the qualifiers that are higher)
