Well, Android is so popular that supporting it would definitely be interesting. There are a couple questions however (I'm not familiar at all with Android, I don't have a smartphone ;-): - Do you have an idea of the amount of work/patch size required? Do you have an example of a patch (even if it's a work-in-progess)? - Is there really a common Android platform? I've heard a lot about fragmentation, so would we have to support several Android flavours (like #ifdef __ANDROID_VENDOR_A__, #elif defined __ANDROID_VENDOR_B__)? _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
