I2P interface on android

[Ruulul]

I am getting a big chunk of error trying to use I2P interface on android. I tried to install the package from the link, the i2p python package through pip3 and also the i2pd package by pkg.

Error message:

Thank you very much for reporting this. The cause of this was that Python 3.10 removed several options from the asyncio API, that i2plib uses. I have fixed this in the i2plib that is distributed with Reticulum, and all is working again.

For good measure, I tested with the following I2P Router implementations, and these are the results:

• Using i2pd installed through termux's package manager = Working
• Using the i2pd app installed through F-Droid = Working
• Using the "official" I2P app installed through F-Droid = Working
• Using the "official" I2P app installed through Google Play Store = Working

Btw, you don't need to install any i2p package for python, Reticulum includes its own means to communicate with the local I2P Router.
