_scproxy import error when building on Mac with 'requests' lib

[dustinfarris]

Building on a Mac while requiring the 'requests' Python library causes an import error on Android.

Excerpt from logcat:

I/python  ( 5771):  Traceback (most recent call last):
I/python  ( 5771):    File "/Users/dustin/Code/edtitan-client/.buildozer/android/app/main.py", line 7, in <module>

I/python  ( 5771):  ImportError: No module named _scproxy
I/python  ( 5771): Python for android ended.

This is seems to be related to the fact that _scproxy is a Mac-specific Python library. The error can be worked around by adding the following to the top of main.py:

import sys
sys.platform = 'linux2'

The above does not seem to solve my issues, I have the exact same problem but when I change main.py I don't see any changes (I am on a Mac/OSX)

@y99 it looks like line 3 of your main.py is triggering the issue. Did you place the workaround code above this line?

No i did not, after doing so - the problem seems to have gone away ! - thanks
