There are some limitations to buildozer while importing python modules to kivy for app building in android and iOS. The module such as request can be compiled to apps in buildozer whereas modules like beautifulsoup cannot. It seesm it has to do some thing with libraries made with C extensions.

It would be very helpful if we have a list which we can refer to before developing an app in such a way that we can select only the needed modules and avoid the unwanted ones.

Probably all modules that need to be compiled must have recipes in p4a or kivy-ios to be avaliable through buildozer.

There's no way to predict if module will need recipe or not. And even if it was, list of unavailable modules would be very long.

While I agree with @germn's assessment, a compromise would be to take a Pareto Principle approach: the top 200 downloaded modules from PyPi's Stats would:

(a) address the needs of a vast majority of developers.
(b) give insight into which missing recipes are likely most needed.
