New submission from STINNER Victor:
Android slowly becomes a first-citizen class platform in CPython thanks to
Xavier de Gaye and other motivated developers, thanks to all of them :-)
To fix the issue #28596, we need a function to check if we are running Android.
Chi Hsuan Yen proposed to use sysconfig to get the new ANDROID_API_LEVEL
configuration option:
+ if sysconfig.get_config_var('ANDROID_API_LEVEL'):
But I asked to avoid sysconfig to reduce imports at Python startup (especially
when the site module is not loaded). I proposed to add a new function to the
sys module: sys.getandroidapilevel().
sys.getandroidapilevel() would only be available on Android, as
sys.getwindowsversion() is only available on Windows, and would return
ANDROID_API_LEVEL as an integer.
I'm not sure about the type: should we use a string? A tuple of integers like
sys.version_info?
sys.getwindowsversion() returns a named tuple:
https://docs.python.org/dev/library/sys.html#sys.getwindowsversion
I'm sorry, I don't have access to an Android development platform, so I let
someone else implement it :-)
