install SSL to python dist help!

[lirre]

Hi.

i wrote this in Kivy users group:

https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/kivy-users/1NKjWTb5_mk

But I think this is a more relevant place to post the issue I have.

So I want to add SSL to python dist in python-for-android. Can anyone help me

I have tried editing setup.dist in python and python-install folder of build: (uncommented lines)

[code]

204:# Socket module helper for SSL support; you must comment out the other
205:# socket line above, and possibly edit the SSL variable:
206:SSL=/usr/lib/ssl
207:_ssl _ssl.c \
208:    -DUSE_SSL -I$(SSL)/include -I$(SSL)/include/openssl \
209:    -L$(SSL)/lib -lssl -lcrypto</pre>
[/code] 

but smtplib can still not find SSL. I get a runtime error when I run my apk

Can anyone help me please?

Sorry I mean python and hostpython in python-for-android/build directory.

I have also tried to supply openssl to ./build command along with setup.dist changes. I get this error with adb logcat:

[/code]

but python-install does have ssl in the python-for-android/build/python-install/lib/python2.7/ folder

What is really the difference between python/, hostpython/, and python-install folders in build/?
I am very confused, why is it not in my apk if it is in python dist?
How to add ssl?

Did you include the _ssl.so and related libraries into the application?

I had a similar issue because my python instance couldn't find the SSL libraries
