Requirements blacklist (APK size optimization)

To optimize the size of the .apk file that p4a builds for you, you can blacklist certain core components. Per default, p4a will add python with batteries included as would be expected on desktop, including openssl, sqlite3 and other components you may not use.

To blacklist an item, specify the --blacklist-requirements option:

p4a apk ... --blacklist-requirements=sqlite3

At the moment, the following core components can be blacklisted (if you don’t want to use them) to decrease APK size:

• android disables p4a’s android module (see android for Android API access)
• libffi disables ctypes stdlib module
• openssl disables ssl stdlib module
• sqlite3 disables sqlite3 stdlib module
