如何为Android随附的jython安装额外的程序包

Question

I have an installation of Android sdk on my machine. And I am using monkeyrunner to execute a bunch of code.

Now the problem is I also need py-serial package that comes with CPython in my code (that I am running with Jython). I tried adding sys.path.append('C:\\\\Python27\\\\lib\\\\site-packages') to my Jython code so that I can use serial package, but that failed miserably.

My question is how can I use external CPython packages with Jython that comes with Android sdk install?

Answer 1

You can use AndroidViewClient/culebra as a drop-in replacement for monkeyrunner.

$ python
Python 2.7.12 (default, Nov 19 2016, 06:48:10)
