Starting with API level 21 (Android 5.0), the build of python3 with the official android toolchains (that is, without resorting to external libraries for wide character support) runs correctly. With the set of patches described in the patches/Makefile file at [1], the cpython test suite runs[2] on the android x86 and armv7 emulators with only few errors[3]. Those errors are listed with their corresponding error messages, this may give a raw idea of the effort needed to support this platform. Xavier [1] https://bitbucket.org/xdegaye/pyona/src [2] To reproduce these results, follow the instructions found in INSTALL at https://bitbucket.org/xdegaye/pyona/wiki/install [3] https://bitbucket.org/xdegaye/pyona/wiki/testsuite

This looks great, very clean! As I understand the patches, the locale.h and langinfo.h problems are solved. Do you think the following issues on the Python bug tracker could be closed? http://bugs.python.org/issue20305 http://bugs.python.org/issue22747 http://bugs.python.org/issue17905 Stefan Krah

As I understand, that issue seems abandoned and the patches are (despite core devs asking otherwise) against 3.4. If Xavier is willing to do so, I think it would be best to start over with a new issue that integrates his work into 3.6. Stefan Krah

The patches in issue 23496 address the native compilation of Android 4.4.2 on an android device using a port of gcc on this device. Some of these patches are not needed anymore on Android 5.0 and it seems that the kbox_fix.patch is needed because the KBOX application is used to build python in issue 23496. The existing issues that are relevant to the android platform are, I think: issue #26723: Add an option to skip _decimal module issue #22747: Interpreter fails in initialize on systems where HAVE_LANGINFO_H is undefined issue #16353: add function to os module for getting path to default shell issue #20306: Lack of pw_gecos field in Android's struct passwd causes cross-compilation for the pwd module to fail Xavier
Oh wow, has a year passed already? I don't have access to an Android device suitable for development, and Cyd seems to have disappeared, which is why the issue ended up abandoned. I'd be happy to try to help with the new effort if possible! -- Ryan [ERROR]: Your autotools build scripts are 200 lines longer than your program.
