QPython Python core toolchain

This is an experimental set of build scripts that will cross-compile the specific Python Core for QPython / QPython3.

Prerequisites

Building requires:

1. Linux or macOS. Ubuntu 14.04, Arch Linux and macOS Sierra tested.
2. Android NDK r16 beta 2 installed and environment variable $ANDROID_NDK points to its root directory. NDK r14 or r15 may work yet not fully tested. NDk r13 or below is not supported.
3. git and python in $PATH. It's recommended to use the latest git-master to build python. Here are some ways to install the python:

• For Arch Linux users, install python-git package from AUR
• For Homebrew users, run brew install python3 --HEAD
• For MacPorts users, add my MacPorts overlay to sources.conf and run sudo port install python37
• For other users, install 3.8 from pyenv

Running requires:

1. Android 5.0 (Lollipop, API 21) or above
2. arm, arm64, x86 or x86-64
3. A busybox binary at /data/local/tmp/busybox

Build

1. make clean for good measure.
2. For every API Level/architecture combination you wish to build for:
   • Edit env to match your (desired) configuration.
   • make to build everything!

Installation

TBD

SSL/TLS

SSL certificates have old and new naming schemes. Android uses the old scheme yet the latest OpenSSL uses the new one. If you got CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED when using SSL/TLS in Python, you need to generating certificate names of the new scheme:

python ./python3/tools/c_rehash.py

Check SSL/TLS functionality with:

python ./python3/tools/ssl_test.py
