list of python-for-android packages

[Lukas Schreiber]

Hi,

At iFOS we're currently trying to figure out which framework to use for building our multi-platform Python apps. We've looked at lots of highly automated options including Briefcase/BeeWare, Chaquopy and the Kivy toolchain. We need a bunch of Python modules with binary contents: at least Numpy, Matplotlib and Shapely, and preferably also Geopandas. These should run on Android (and Linux and Windows).

I just spent half an hour searching for the list of packages that Kivy can install but couldn't find anything except the statement "[python-for-android] Features include: [...] Automatic support for most pure Python modules, and built in support for many others, including popular dependencies such as numpy and sqlalchemy."

Is there a list somewhere of non-pure-Python packages that Kivy/buildozer/python-for-android supports on Android?

Is the list the same when building directly with Kivy, or buildozer, or python-for-android?

Thanks and Cheers!

Lukas

Some background reading:

https://github.com/kivy/buildozer/tree/master/docs/source

https://github.com/kivy/python-for-android/tree/develop/doc/source

Kivy is Python GUI package, and also a name of a group of projects https://github.com/kivy

Buildozer is, in part, a wrapper around python-for-android.
