[SOLVED] long used in pyjnius_utils.pxi cause error in buildozer android debug in python 3.10 on MacOS

long used in pyjnius_utils.pxi cause error in buildozer android debug in python 3.10 on MacOS

The python version is 3.10.17, buildozer 1.5.0, kivy 2.3.1. Here is the requirements in buildozer.spec:

requirements = python3=3.10,kivy,openssl=3.0.16,cryptography==42.0.5,pyjnius @ git+https://github.com/kivy/pyjnius.git@eaf76a5#egg=pyjnius

Here is the buildozer.spec:

[app]

# (str) Title of your application
title = Video Monitor Front

# (str) Package name
package.name = myapp

# (str) Package domain (needed for android/ios packaging)
package.domain = org.test

# (str) Source code where the main.py live
source.dir = .

# (list) Source files to include (let empty to include all the files)
source.include_exts = py,png,jpg,kv,atlas

# (str) Application versioning (method 1)
version = 0.1

# (list) Application requirements
# comma separated e.g. requirements = sqlite3,kivy
requirements = python3=3.10,kivy,openssl=3.0.16,cryptography==42.0.5,pyjnius @ git+https://github.com/kivy/pyjnius.git@eaf76a5#egg=pyjnius

ios.ios_deploy_branch = 1.10.0

# (bool) Whether or not to sign the code
ios.codesign.allowed = false

[buildozer]

# (int) Log level (0 = error only, 1 = info, 2 = debug (with command output))
log_level = 2

# (int) Display warning if buildozer is run as root (0 = False, 1 = True)

Also tried pyjnius without specifying certain version. But the error is the same when buildozer android debug:

STDERR:


# Command failed: ['/Users/macbook/Documents/code/py/myapp/venv310/bin/python3.10', '-m', 'pythonforandroid.toolchain', 'create', '--dist_name=myapp', '--bootstrap=sdl2', '--requirements=python3,kivy,openssl=3.0.16,cryptography==39.0.1,pyopenssl', '--arch=arm64-v8a', '--arch=armeabi-v7a', '--copy-libs', '--color=always', '--storage-dir=/Users/macbook/Documents/code/py/myapp/.buildozer/android/platform/build-arm64-v8a_armeabi-v7a', '--ndk-api=21', '--ignore-setup-py', '--debug']

The reason for the error is because pyjnius is not compatible with python 3. In pyjnius_utils.pxi, it still use long which is deprecated in python 3:

 if isinstance(arg, int) or (
            (isinstance(arg, long) and arg < 2147483648)):  //<<===long not supported in python 3

Tried the patch file below but it didn't work (same error about long):

I check the pyjnius 1.6.1 and it says officially supporting python up to 3.13. How to fix this error?

Solution

I had the exact same issue. It appears this has been fixed but hasn't been officially released yet:
https://github.com/kivy/pyjnius/pull/753

https://github.com/kivy/kivy/commit/5a1b27d7d3bdee6cedb55440bfae9c4e66fb3c68

I just edited my local files with these changes and that fixed the issue.
