Can't install Kivy in Python

Question

I installed kivy with python -m pip install kivy and python -m pip install kivy[full] kivy-examples, I tried hundreds of different installing methods, I tried to execute as an administrator with --force-reinstall but if I write import kivy.app, this is the output:

But if I just execute import kivy it works. What should I do? In Python 3.9 it works.

Answer 1

The output shows that kivy uses python version 3.10 and for that version, kivy is still in development status.

So if you have no problem changing your python version you can use version 3.8.10 that's what I am currently using with kivy.

Then just simply pip install kivy and the import import kivy.app works just as intedend
