Problems working with kivy in Python 2.7

Navigation
1

I have Python 2.7 and I have installed kivy.

It has to be installed correctly because when I import it from the Python console it does not give me an error. But if I keep entering code I have problems. I am new to this and I do not know what is the workflow with Python and kivy.

I hit you what the console throws me in case you can lend me a hand. It's the following: 

Python 2.7.11 (v2.7.11:6d1b6a68f775, Dec  5 2015, 20:40:30) [MSC v.1500 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32

What I could find according to the documentation is that for the installation in Windows you have to follow the steps described:

  • Make sure you have the latest versions of pip and wheel : 

    $ python -m pip install --upgrade pip wheel setuptools

  • Install the dependencies (you can ignore gstreamer (~ 90MB) if you do not need it, see the dependencies of Kivy): 

    $ python -m pip install docutils pygments pypiwin32 kivy.deps.sdl2 kivy.deps.glew kivy.deps.gstreamer --extra-index-url https://kivy.org/downloads/packages/simple/

  • Install kivy : 

    $ python -m pip install kivy

    • To this I would also add (if you do not have it installed) the library Pillow (a fork of PIL ): 

    $ pip install pillow

    Try to uninstall kivy and perform the steps I just described.
