Python 3.7.3 : Fix kivy python module installation.

Kivy is a multi-platform GUI development library for Python, running on Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, and iOS.
Today I tested kivy python module with python version 3.7.3 and I got some errors but I fixed.
I started with the default installation using the pip tool.

C:\Python373>cd Scripts
C:\Python373\Scripts>pip install kivy
...
Installing collected packages: docutils, pygments, Kivy-Garden, kivy
...
Successfully installed kivy-1.10.1

I used a default script to test the kivy python module.
When I tested I got these errors:

[CRITICAL] [Window      ] Unable to find any valuable Window provider.
sdl2 - ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.
  File "C:\Python373\lib\site-packages\kivy\core\__init__.py", line 59, in core_
select_lib
    fromlist=[modulename], level=0)
  File "C:\Python373\lib\site-packages\kivy\core\window\window_sdl2.py", line 26
, in 
    from kivy.core.window._window_sdl2 import _WindowSDL2Storage
...
[CRITICAL] [App         ] Unable to get a Window, abort.

Iinstall the kivy.deps.sdl2:

C:\Python373>cd Scripts
C:\Python373\Scripts>pip install kivy.deps.sdl2
Collecting kivy.deps.sdl2

     |████████████████████████████████| 2.5MB 726kB/s

Successfully installed kivy.deps.sdl2-0.1.18

When I tested again, I got another error:

[CRITICAL] [App         ] Unable to get a Window, abort.

I try to see if the install of these python modules are right:

C:\Python373>cd Scripts
C:\Python373\Scripts>pip install pypiwin32
Requirement already satisfied: pypiwin32 in c:\python373\lib\site-packages (223)
Requirement already satisfied: pywin32>=223 in c:\python373\lib\site-packages 
(from pypiwin32) (224)
C:\Python373\Scripts>pip install kivy.deps.glew
Collecting kivy.deps.glew
...

Now the kivy works well:

If you search on web you will se this is a common error and some users use this solution:

python -m pip install docutils pygments pypiwin32 kivy.deps.sdl2
python -m pip install kivy.deps.glew
python -m pip install kivy.deps.gstreamer

Hope this help you with python programming and kivy interface.

Using kivy python module with PyCharm IDE.

First, you need to download the last version of PyCharm IDE.
My PyCharm IDE put the python version 3 into a folder named Miniconda3.
I use the command shell to go to Scripts and I used pip to install the kivy python module, see:

Scripts>pip install kivy

I got one error about SDL and I put the SDL 2.0 into my windows system 32 folders.
The next step is to try to use this steps from the official website into the Scripts folder from Miniconda3.

python -m pip install --upgrade pip wheel setuptools
python -m pip install docutils pygments pypiwin32 kivy.deps.sdl2 kivy.deps.glew
python -m pip install kivy.deps.gstreamer
python -m pip install kivy.deps.angle
python -m pip install kivy

I make one project into my PyCharm editor and I use the default script:

from kivy.app import App
from kivy.uix.button import Button

class TestApp(App):
    def build(self):
        return Button(text='Hello World')

TestApp().run()

The result can be see into the next image:

The kivy pyhon module for android.

First you need to install kivy python module.
The kivy python module
C:\>cd Python27

C:\Python27>cd Scripts

C:\Python27\Scripts>pip install kivy

Use this to add new pthon modules:
python -m pip install --upgrade docutils pygments pypiwin32 kivy.deps.sdl2 kivy.deps.glew kivy.deps.gstreamer --extra-index-url https://kivy.org/downloads/packages/simple/
If the python kivy.deps.gstreamer don't working then is not problem will try without this python module.
To see outdated python modules , use this commnds:
python -m pip install --upgrade pip wheel setuptools
pip list outdated
Let's upgrade all of python modules with this:
pip freeze > requirements.txt && pip install --upgrade -r requirements.txt && del requirements.txt
Another way to install this python module can be found here.
The demo can be star with this comman line:
C:\Python27>python share\kivy-examples\demo\showcase\main.py
You can also test one simple python script:
from kivy.app import App
from kivy.uix.button import Button

class TestApp(App):
def build(self):
return Button(text='Hello World')

TestApp().run()
To use with android operating system then test Buildozer.
This tool supports packaging for Android via the python-for-android project, and for iOS via the kivy-ios project. Support for other operating systems is intended in the future.
