When python is cross-compiled for android with --enable-shared, the following error occurs:
# python -c "import socket"
Fatal Python error: PyThreadState_Get: no current thread
This also occurs when importing subprocess, asyncore or asyncio but not when importing posix (not a shared library). This is fixed by building python without soname versioning, although I have no idea why a problem with the android loader would cause this error.
Patch attached.
Some references to the android loader and soname versioning:
