Bug with android.p4a_whitelist in buildozer.spec file.

[MohsenHassani]

Hello guys,

I needed to use unittest for raven, so I added it to android.p4a_whitelist. After compilation and installing the apk file, the application would get closed because there was an error: not being able to import 'unittest'.
For solving the problem, with help of tshirtman in IRC I included 'unittest/*' in the file:
my_project/.buildozer/android/platform/python-for-android/dist/<name_of_my_project>/whitelist.txt

So I guess the during compilation procedure Buildozer ignores android.p4a_whitelist in spec file.

Buildozer is adding the whitelist entries to the p4a source whitelist instead of the distribution whitelist. So if a distribution has already been built with p4a, then changing the whitelist will have no effect. Really Buildozer shouldn't be modifying the source whitelist at all.

So isn't this a bug with Buildozer then and not p4a? Opened issue here and I recommend this issue be closed as it is not an issue with p4a.
