Buildozer, python-for-android and matplotlib

[o.ilc...@promaster.ua]

Can't get running matplotlib.

There is no recipe for matplotlib, so I found one on stackoverflow:
VERSION_matplotlib=${VERSION_matplotlib:-1.5.0}
DEPS_matplotlib=(numpy python dateutil pyparsing six linpng pytz freetype agg PyCXX qhull ttconv)
URL_matplotlib=http://pypi.python.org/packages/source/m/matplotlib/matplotlib-$VERSION_matplotlib.tar.gz
MD5_matplotlib=7952a539418ed77432aa4727409f24cf
BUILD_matplotlib=$BUILD_PATH/matplotlib/$(get_directory $URL_matplotlib)
RECIPE_matplotlib=$RECIPES_PATH/matplotlib

# function called for preparing source code if needed
# (you can apply patch etc here.)
function prebuild_matplotlib() {
    true
}

function shouldbuild_lxml() {
    if [ -d "$SITEPACKAGES_PATH/matplotlib" ]; then
        DO_BUILD=0
    fi
}

# function called to build the source code
function build_matplotlib() {
    cd $BUILD_matplotlib

    push_arm

    export CC="$CC -I$BUILD_numpy/"
    export LDFLAGS="-L$BUILD_numpy/numpy/.libs -L$BUILD_numpy/numpy/.libs -L$BUILD_numpy/.libs -L$BUILD_numpy/numpy -L$BUILD_numpy/numpy -L$BUILD_numpy/  $LDFLAGS"
    export LDSHARED="$LIBLINK"

    chmod +x $BUILD_numpy/numpy-config
    export PATH=$PATH:$BUILD_numpy
    #plus more for the other dependencies
    try $HOSTPYTHON setup.py build_ext -I$BUILD_matplotlib
    try find . -iname '*.pyx' -exec $CYTHON {} \;
    try $HOSTPYTHON setup.py build_ext -v
    try find build/lib.* -name "*.o" -exec $STRIP {} \;

    export PYTHONPATH=$BUILD_hostpython/Lib/site-packages
    try $BUILD_hostpython/hostpython setup.py install -O2 --root=$BUILD_PATH/python-install --install-lib=lib/python2.7/site-packages

    unset LDSHARED
    pop_arm
}

# function called after all the compile have been done
function postbuild_matplotlib() {
    true
}

But this gives an error:

How can I fix it?

The error is the unknown url type thing. Googling suggests e.g. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/27115803/urllib-error-urlerror-urlopen-error-unknown-url-type-https as a soluction. I'm not sure where the code trying to do this is though.

The problem is distribute is downloaded from https site (however, first, http is redirected to https).
