Hello friends, is there any way to make an APK from Windows or another operating system using a Python library similar to PyInstaller?

Convert .py in .apk?

Discussion It seems like there was a change for how hex values and bytes can be compared

0 Upvotes

I made myself a lib for fast parsing RAW images from my sony camera.

My old code: ```python def check_for_endian(data:bytes) -> tuple[int, int]|None:

if data[:2] == 0x4949:   # "II" LE
    return 1, 0
if data[:2] == 0x4D4D:   # "MM" BE
    return 2, 0

return None

So it was possible to compare a hex value with bytes. Now it's not possible anymore, somehow, so I had to do this: python def check_for_endian(data:bytes) -> tuple[int, int]|None: header_endian = struct.unpack_from("<h", data, 0)[0]

if header_endian == 0x4949:   # "II" LE
    return 1, 0
if header_endian == 0x4D4D:   # "MM" BE
    return 2, 0

return None

```

I'm a bit confused, have I used it wrong in the first place and I was never supposed to compare a hex value with bytes?

E: I use python 3.13.9 and uv 0.9.9
