Requirements for build

  • In order to build Py4A you first need to build python for Android platform, make sure you have all the dependencies needed for building python 2.7 for your distro in Ubuntu run: sudo apt-get build-dep python2.7
  • Android NDK >= r10e, maybe < r13 (r13 series does not contain GCC)
  • Android SDK >= 21.1.2
  • Gradle >= 2.0 (included in Android Studio >= 1.0.2)

  • Build packages for build python

    • for openssl: 
      apt install xutils-dev
    • for 64bit linux: 
      apt install lib32z1 lib32stdc++6
    • (?): 
      apt install aapt

How to build

  • Check the dependencies of library (sample of Ubuntu) 

    shell
$ sudo apt install libzlib-dev

  • Clone this project. ```shell for Mercurial uesr (with hg-git plugin) $ hg clone git://github.com/kuri65536/python-for-android

for git user $ git clone git://github.com/kuri65536/python-for-android 

* Build the apk:
shell $ cd android/PythonForAndroid $ echo sdk.dir=/path/to/android-sdk > local.properties $ sh /path/to/android-stdudio/gradle/gradle-2.2.1/bin/gradle assembleDebug Building ??% ... $ ls build/outputs/apk/ PythonForAndroid-debug.apk 
* Build the py4a binaries.
shell $ cd python-build $ NDKPATH=/path/to/android-ndk-r10d make build $ ls python*.zip pythonr29.zip pythonextrar29.zip ... and so on... 
* Confirm your binary version.
shell $ cd python-build $ cat LATESTVERSION r29 $ cat LATESTVERSIONEXTRA r29 $ cat LATESTVERSION_SCRIPTS r28 ``` * Make a release in github and Upload the binaries to it. Please be careful to match the release name and confirmed binary versions.

Local install for confirm the build (direct extracting)

  • Requirements: root is required.
  • Requirements: python already install.
  • Requirements: unzip is needed for extract.

How to run: * after build, move current directory to python2:
