Python3 error with pexpect

[ghost]

On Ubuntu 14.04, after running:

buildozer -v android debug

I got:

Traceback (most recent call last):

In buildozer/targets/android.py, line 314, since child.expect() takes a string, replacing
index = child.expect([EOF, u'[y/n]: ']) by index = child.expect(EOF) seems
to solve the error. I got the .apk file. We just have to see if the output file works on android.

@he2lo
It didn't help

Wrong, except doesn't take a string, but a pattern, and pattern can be multiple component as the doc explained:
http://pexpect.readthedocs.org/en/stable/api/pexpect.html?highlight=expect#pexpect.spawn.expect

This has already been reported as an issue with Python 3.4 + pexpect in pexpect/pexpect#159

Try using pexpect 4.0 ?

[ptmono]

I have same issue. Using pexpect 4.0 is not solve the problem.

Now , pexpect support Python 3 ?

[shadrech]

I'm also faced with this exact issue. I've seen people complaining of this issue since 2014...any solution yet?

Updating to buildozer-0.32 pexpect-4.2.1 and ptyprocess-0.5.1 solved the issue for me.
I used Python 3.5.2.

I think this was solved a long time ago. Feel free to open a fresh new bug report if not
