I am attempting to compile Python along with the modules "openssl pil zope2" for Android using the "Python-for-android" project (https://github.com/kivy/python-for-android).

However it is not successful and errors out with the below error:

Code:
Getting distribution for 'zope.security==3.7.4'.

An error occurred when trying to install zope.security 3.7.4. Look
above this message for any errors that were output by easy_install.
While:
  Installing test.
  Getting distribution for 'zope.security==3.7.4'.
Error: Couldn't install: zope.security 3.7.4

What I am wondering is if anyone else has ever had a similar issue when trying to use the Android gcc, I have build zope.security just fine using the ARM gcc so it is not a platform issue but some bug/issue with the provided Android gcc in the NDK
