ImportError: cannot import name _htmlparser in bs4 - Python Kivy Android

Question

I got following message

ImportError: cannot import name _htmlparser

after running application built by buildozer on Android.

The app uses bs4/Kivy. Works fine on Windows with no error at all, but fails on Android.

I replaced "html.parser" with "lxml" when creating BeautifulSoup object

soup = bs(content, "lxml")

but it still fails.

Does anyone have any idea how to fix it? Regard!

Answer 1

a lot of people are stuck with this same problem. its best if u try other bs4 alternatives like ehp..i am using it for most of my projects now
