Error message

Install or update "curl_cffi" package | pip install -U curl_cffi

What it means

On Android, androidPythonExecutable found the merged python-home directory but no compiled `pyandroid` runner binary next to it. The design is two-stage: download/merge the runtime, then build the C runner with Termux clang; this error means stage one completed and stage two has not.

Solutions

1. Simply re-run the g4f-go binary as the message says — the flow will invoke buildAndroidRunner now that python-home exists
2. If the rebuild fails, follow the next error (Termux missing or clang failure) and fix that root cause
3. Verify pyandroid should exist at <binDir>/pyandroid and that binDir is the same one used at runtime (path config drift)
4. If pyandroid exists but is a directory (weird extraction artifact), remove it and rebuild

func androidRunnerReady(binDir string) bool {
    fi, err := os.Stat(filepath.Join(binDir, "pyandroid"))
    return err == nil && !fi.IsDir()
}
// if false but python-home exists, invoke the build step before spawning the runner

When it happens

Trigger: First run on Android after the runtime merged but before buildAndroidRunner succeeded; a previous build failure left python-home intact while pyandroid was never produced; someone deleted just the pyandroid binary.

Common situations: Fresh Android install where the user skipped the post-download build step; build previously failed on the Termux check or clang compile and the runtime dir persisted; moving binDir contents without the runner.
