There seem to be some external ports already. -- On the other hand, if we integrate your patches, we'd sort of make Android officially supported. The problems with this are: a) In the past proponents of non-mainstream platforms have not been very active after an initial enthusiasm. b) There were no build slaves (See http://www.python.org/dev/buildbot/) for these platforms. c) Many (or all) core committers did not have access to the platform in question. Wikipedia claims that "QEMU also powers the Android emulator which is part of the Android SDK." Can you run a build slave with network access and also run the test suite in this emulator? Running a build slave is rather easy, see: https://wiki.python.org/moin/BuildBot http://bugs.python.org/file24399/buildslave_install.txt ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue20305> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
