Can .so files be run using Chaquopy?

i am trying to call a .so file but it fails.

MainActivity.java:

Python py = Python.getInstance();
PyObject pyf = py.getModule("temp");

temp.py:

from test1 import showimg
showimg(1,2)

I am trying to call test1.so file instead of test1.py but it fails:

But if i call test1.py, it runs succesfully. Here is my test1.py:

def showimg(i,j):
    print(i+j)

Why does it fail? Previously i have been told that Chaquopy doesnt import-and-run .pyc files. Does it not support .so files?

Yes: for more details on the tool, see https://github.com/chaquo/chaquopy/issues/175#issuecomment-778543307. And for instructions on building your own Cython module, see https://github.com/chaquo/build-wheel/issues/10#issuecomment-1128749342.

So the licensed package build tool builds the .so files for Android platform?
