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
  Downloading https://files.pythonhosted.org/packages/93/84/a0dc274d993db6f9ebdf

     |████████████████████████████████| 2.5MB 726kB/s
Installing collected packages: kivy.deps.sdl2
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.
