Hello, first time poster here, and general newbie to Python.
I'm looking to write a program in Python, (and have in fact written most of it
by now,) and am trying to put together a GUI for it. Kivy looks very nice,
particularly with the fact that it's supposed to be compatible with most
platforms (including Android, which I would like to be able to use my program
on in addition to running it on my desktop) with minimal hassle. However, its
current iteration is Python 2.7 only, and I've only learned Python 3.3.
I suppose I could learn Python 2.7, but I don't really want to. (Nor rewrite my
program.) I could wait for the next release of Kivy, but who knows when that
will be?
In any case, it's apparently possible to pull and compile the development
version of Kivy for 3.3:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/kivy-dev/pRp_02jaJww/discussion,
however, I haven't succeeded in getting it to work. I'm on a Windows machine,
and after a good deal of wrangling, I'm getting:
C:\Users\[SNIP]\Desktop\kivy-py3>python setup.py build_ext --inplace

I also tried to compile it with an Ubuntu virtual machine, but I failed hard on
that since I'm not a native Linux user. Would anyone be able to help, either by
suggesting how I can fix the above error, or, perhaps, by helping me compile
Kivy?
(I did post this on the Kivy group, but I've not gotten any response there...
The group's a bit dead.)
Hi
Have you tried asking on the kivy irc channel? (#kivy on freenode, or
http://webchat.freenode.net/?nick=kvuser.&channels=kivy&uio=d4)
The channel is fairly active, though you might have to wait a bit for a
response.
I'm not a Windows user myself, so unfortunately I can't help with the
issue directly.
Regards,
Ian F
