netifaces import error on android

[Artem Popov]

Hi,

I'm having a problem importing netifaces on android, relevant logcat output is below. Manually setting PYTHON_EGG_CACHE to a writeable directory seems to solve the problem, but i'd love to avoid using hacks like that. Any ideas? Thanks!

Regards,

Hi,

I am having the same issue here.

Exactly how did you manually set PYTHON_EGG_CACHE to a writeable directory.

Or a way to modify the receipe.sh for netifaces?
