Question

I'm not able to make APK of my simple kivy module with buildozer.

Following is the error dump:

How to resolve it. I tried installing cython again but it did not helped.

Was it helpful?

Solution

It looks like your Cython is too old. I had similar issues when I started Kivy development on 12.04. Try installing a newer version from PPA or using PIP.

From PPA:

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:cython-dev/master-ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install cython

Using PIP:

sudo apt-get install python-pip
sudo pip install --upgrade cython
