I'm not an official cpython developer but ifdef __ANDROID__ is quite in line with other per-platform support (__FreeBSD__, __linux__, etc), as well as already being in use in Modules/_posixsubprocess.c. Is __ANDROID__ not being defined when it should be? On Thu, Feb 26, 2015 at 4:20 PM, Ryan Gonzalez <rymg19@gmail.com> wrote:
DOES NOBODY HAVE AN ANSWER TO THIS???
I'm REALLY relying on someone who works on Python to answer this. PLEASE??

So...
There was a recent discussion here on porting Python to Android. Well, for those of you who saw too many unread messages and marked the whole thread as read like I usually do, I helped Cyd figure out some patches that make it work. Cyd then opened Issue 23496 <http://bugs.python.org/issue23496>. Now, I'm going to try to redo the patches against HEAD (or tip in Mercurial language).
Which leads me to the question. See, of course, the patches should only be enabled if Python is being built targeting Android, but I'm not sure how that should be detected.
I know that the Android target triple is arm-linux-androideabi. Should I test for the __ANDROID__ macro in the source file, or should I modify configure.ac to detect Android and define its own macro? Also, if a configure.ac edit is preferred, where should it be? It's slightly painful to scan through all 4000 lines of Python's configure script. ;)
