"""
=======================================================================
To predefine names for platform-specific code, place this file in your
source-code package folder, and add this statement to any code file:

    from _android_test import *

Then use the three 'Running*' names below in your platform-test 'if's.

Future goal: use this for integrating Android code changes into base 
files; changes should really be 'if' statements, not custom versions.
This awaits more end-user testing, and source-code package rereleases.

Note, however, that the changes required for Pydroid 3 are specific 
to Pydroid 3 only (e.g., the sys.executable hardcoding).  The ethics 
of changing the portable source-code package to support just a single
app on Android are dubious, especially when that app employs freemium 
advertising.  For now, Pydroid 3 is best supported by custom code.

    in both Termux and Pydroid 3.  The latter might also just catch an
