I'm at exactly the same place as you with a Buildozer install. I
believe that python for Android has not been fully installed.

I came to this conclusion by trying the command manually. Running
"python3 -m pythonforandroid.toolchain create" on the command line
results in ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pythonforandoid'.

My full log is attached if anybody wants to take a look.

Is this on MacOS ?

Building for Android on MacOS does not work.

Workaround is is to install a Linux VM

[Craig Johnson]

I don’t know about the original poster, but I’m running it on an Ubuntu VM under Windows.

Ya, it is a mac OS Thank You.

yes, the issue in your post is different.

Is log_level =2 ?

The log file as shown is pretty much unreadable, I did find this:

raise TypeError("Invalid special arguments:\n\n%s\n" % exc_msg) 
TypeError: Invalid special arguments:   'env': env must be a dict.

I have no clue why this occurs.

So I Googled, you are not the only one seeing this today https://askubuntu.com/questions/1233200/buildozer-crashed-with-env-env-must-be-a-dict

But I can't replicate. I tried a few different builds (WSL Ubuntu 18.04) , no error.

Until the picture becomes clearer I have no suggestion as to what to do. Maybe somebody else does?

Update, looks like this is fixed:

https://github.com/kivy/python-for-android/commit/e2b9cfe17d17607d876b7664cc0026dcd5e69f2e#diff-c439e980dc587602fda87459815f09fe

But it is fixed in the    develop    branch,  Buildozer defaults to the    master   branch

So the workaround is to get close to the bleeding edge (or wait a while).

No idea what the side effects might be.

I tried changing the p4a version but got the following Python 3.8 related (?) error:

WARNING: pip is configured with locations that require TLS/SSL, however the ssl module in Python is not available.

I did not try to go any further.

This is how I changed the p4a version:

Edit buildozer.spec , below this:

#p4a.branch = master

    add

p4a.branch = develop

Important:

buildozer appclean

before

biuldozer android debug

Hi Robert,

Thanks for that link, it was what I needed.  I applied that change to my local copy of P4A and it resolved the issue and Buildozer now appears to be working.

I did not install the develop branch, so I have no idea how that would have gone.
