[master] AttributeError: 'tuple' object has no attribute 'startswith'

[thopiekar]

Hey, I wasn't playing with python-for-android for a long time. I just wanted to update my old qt5 recipe as I got together with the PySide2 team a (almost) working version of PySide. I just wanted to run toolchain.py to built something, but I landed here:

thopiekar@hp:.../python-for-android_fork$ PYTHONPATH=. python pythonforandroid/toolchain.py create
[INFO]:    This python-for-android revamp is an experimental alpha release!
[INFO]:    It should work (mostly), but you may experience missing features or bugs.
[INFO]:    Will compile for the following archs: armeabi
[INFO]:    Found Android API target in $ANDROIDAPI
[INFO]:    Available Android APIs are (21, 22, 23)
[INFO]:    Requested API target 21 is available, continuing.
[INFO]:    Found NDK dir in $ANDROIDNDK
[INFO]:    Got NDK version from $ANDROIDNDKVER
[WARNING]: NDK version was set as r10e, but checking the NDK dir claims it is r10e-rc4.
[WARNING]: The build will try to continue, but it may fail and you should check that your setting is correct.
[WARNING]: If the NDK dir result is correct, you don't need to manually set the NDK ver.

[INFO]:    No dist exists that meets your requirements, so one will be built.
[INFO]:    Found a single valid recipe set (this is good)

What am I doing wrong here?

I think this is a bug, when the bootstrap recipe dependencies are loaded they are searched for in the possible recipe dirs even if the dependency is a tuple of two alternatives (which should be unpacked and two different possible trees constructed).

I think this hasn't been noticed before because it doesn't happen if you specify some/enough recipe requirements manually, so you may be able to work around it for now by adding some --requirements.

It shouldn't be hard to fix, I'll try to take a look at it in the next few days.

Actually, I'm wrong, the workaround is to add --bootstrap=sdl2 or --bootstrap=pygame (or your new one if you're doing that for PySide), as this prevents the bootstrap choosing code from running.
