+--- Thread: Android Plugin fails due to missing Python standard library (/showthread.php?tid=329478)
Plugin fails due to missing Python standard library - Botster - 2018-03-11
A user reported (ref.) the failure of my plugin to execute on NVIDIA SHIELD Android TV. From an excerpt of the log, it is apparent that it is not finding a Python standard library module:
Quote:Error Type: <type 'exceptions.ImportError'>The wiki Python Libraries page says:
Error Contents: No module named _multiprocessing
Quote:Kodi Python comes with all the standard modules from Python 2.7 or later. See https://docs.python.org/2.7/library/ for reference.The Python reference page documents the multiprocessing module at 16.6. So, I thought I could rely upon it.
Is the documentation in error, or is this a possible bug in the Android version (NVIDIA SHIELD Android TV with Android 7.0.0 API level 24, kernel: Linux ARM 64-bit version 3.10.96+)?

Missing random binary modules from the Standard Lib on some platform is a known issue. E.g. on Windows notorious culprits are datetime and cElementTree.

Ah, okay. Thank you.
I searched for information on missing standard library modules, but came up empty. Is there a list of these missing modules documented somewhere so one could know what exceptions need to be caught?

Multiprocessing on Android is not supported, is there any other way for Kodi on Android ?
