Xavier de Gaye added the comment: This error: _curses.error: setupterm: could not find terminfo database does not occur for me after removing the '--disable-database --disable-home-terminfo' options from the configure options used to cross-compile ncurses, and after setting the TERMINFO

Chi Hsuan Yen added the comment: curses was broken and now it's fixed. Yes - Android's locale patch is no longer necessary in _curses either. However, there are runtime errors: shell@ASUS_Z00E_2:/data/local/tmp $ python3.6 -c 'import curses; curses.initscr()'

Stefan Krah added the comment: Thank you, this is excellent! Does that mean that all locale patches are no longer needed? Here is one left (perhaps accidentally): https://github.com/yan12125/python3-android/blob/cpython-hg/mk/ncurses/android-locale-fixes.patch --

Chi Hsuan Yen added the comment: Android NDK provides an "android-support" package [1]. There is no documentation other than README in its git repository, I guess it's a 'compatibility layer' between applications targetting a complete C library and Android's BioniC. With my patchset [2],

Stefan Krah added the comment: Consider the libmpdec part rejected. It is too much work given that external libmpdecs need to be compatible and Android can use the Python version of decimal. -- nosy: +skrah ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org

Shiz added the comment: I managed to cross-compile Python 3.3.3 for arm-linux-androideabi (using the Android NDK r9c) with the patches in this issue, issue 20306 and issue 20307. It did require a small additional patch which addressed the fact that the host system can't run the generated

Shiz added the comment: c) Many (or all) core committers did not have access to the platform in question. I'd say Android is quite a common platform these days, although I'd concur that it's not particularly easy to run Python OOTB on. :) Wikipedia claims that QEMU also powers the

Marc-Andre Lemburg added the comment: I'd be +1 on such a patch if we were to officially support Android, but we'd need a volunteer to champion for this (which would be a good thing, IMO). Otherwise, such changes need to be maintained externally. --
