I want to code Python 3 on my Android device. So I went through [Lanky Cyril's blog](http://blog.lankycyril.com/post/39473303019) post on using the Terminal IDE to put all that I needed to do code on an Android terminal. For Python 2.X that is installed on the blog, it works like a charm.
So I installed Python 3 using the same instructions. This is what I get when I try to start Python 3:
terminal++:~$ ~/python3
Fatal Python error: Py_Initialize: unable to load the file system codec
LookupError: no codec search functions registered: can't find encoding
Segmentation fault
I made sure:
export PYTHONHOME=/data/data/com.googlecode.python3forandroid/files/python3
export PYTHONPATH=${PYTHONHOME}/lib/python3.2/lib-dynload
I also checked on why [python 3 is not loading ](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5694706/py-initialize-fails-unable-to-load-the-file-system-codec) on StackOverflow.
So the problem could be the python build. Has anyone worked around this?
