UV stopped working on android after python upgrade to 3.13

[ShaharNaveh]

Summary

On android, termux (terminal emulator for android) has recently updated python from 3.12.X -> 3.13.X. this caused UV to produce the following error when trying to run:

$ uv tool install ipython --force
error: Failed to inspect Python interpreter from first executable in the search path at `/data/data/com.termux/files/usr/bin/python`
  Caused by: Can't use Python at `/data/data/com.termux/files/usr/bin/python`
  Caused by: Unknown operating system: `android`

I believe this regression occurs because sys.platform returns 'linux' on python 3.12 but returns 'android' on 3.13. (See notes for https://docs.python.org/3/library/sys.html#sys.platform)

I had to load this to get it to work again.
Although, I think this should be a temporary solution.

export _PYTHON_HOST_PLATFORM="linux-aarch64"
if command -v uv > /dev/null; then
    export UV_LIBC="none"
    export UV_LINK_MODE="copy"
