vl-convert-python

[Nwokike]

Hello Flet team!

I need vl-convert-python for converting Vega-Lite chart specifications to PNG/SVG in mobile Flet apps. Because it is built with Rust (maturin) and has no Android/iOS wheels on PyPI, flet build apk fails with a missing wheel error.

Package Details:

• Name: vl-convert-python
• PyPI: https://pypi.org/project/vl-convert-python/
• Use Case: Convert Vega and Vega-Lite chart specifications to PNG and SVG images.

Could we get vl-convert-python added to the mobile forge (pypi.flet.dev)?

Thank you!

flet build apk fails because vl-convert-python has no Android or iOS wheel on PyPI. It is a Rust package, and the phone build can only install wheels that were built for that phone. The Flet forge is that list. Adding this package there is up to the Flet maintainers.

Until a mobile wheel exists, render the PNG or SVG on a desktop or a server, where the package does install, and show that image in the app.
