p4a --requirements ignores absolute folder paths

[ghost]

p4a's --requirements option appears to ignore/drop absolute folder paths. This is the output at the end building the dependencies I get:

[INFO]:    # Installing pure Python modules
[INFO]:    The requirements (Cython, https://github.com/JonasT/nettools/archive/master.zip, https://github.com/JonasT/wobblui/archive/master.zip, pyphen, python-dateutil, python-docx) don't have recipes, attempting to install them with pip

... the absolute folder path I put is simply missing. It is also not part of the site-packages as it is supposed to be in the final .apk created.

Versions

• Python: python 3 host, python3crystax target
• OS: ubuntu docker
• Kivy: not used
• Cython: latest from pip

buildozer.spec

not used

...

As mentioned above, there should be an absolute folder path in that pure python modules list, and there just isn't. It is just quietly dropped which breaks the final .apk since the dependency is just missing.

Much earlier, I get this output:

[INFO]:    Dist will also contain modules (python-docx, /my-app-lib-copy/, https://github.com/JonasT/wobblui/archive/master.zip, python-dateutil, https://github.com/JonasT/nettools/archive/master.zip, pyphen, Cython) installed from pip

So the absolute path dependency is initially recognized, and gets lost somewhere.

This is now fixed on p4a master with the merge of #1489 ! 🎉
