AttributeError: module 'site' has no attribute 'getsitepackages' when running p4a create

See original GitHub issue

Hopefully this is just me doing something wrong.

I created a test project to test building an APK using Python 3.5. I’m running this comand:

p4a create \
        --dist_name=testproject \
        --bootstrap=sdl2 \
        --requirements=sdl2,python3crystax,kivy \
        --android_api=19 \
        --ndk_dir=/home/melvisntnormal/.android/ndk_crystax/

which gives me the above error. Any way to get this working?

All right, I guess I’ll wait for an actual fix. In the meantime, I’ve used a probably naive solution and changed "\\n".join(site.getsitepackages()) to os.path.dirname(site.__file__) + "/site-packages", and it works just fine (though the apk crashes on my phone, but so did the python2.7 and Kivy Launcher versions). Is there any reason why using os.path.dirname(site.__file__) + "/site-packages" is a bad idea?

Closing as stale, since it should be resolved by moving away from crystax and having a proper hostpython again for our own use.
