[PROBLEM] How can I bypass kivy module error: ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found ?
Note: I have installed kivy with: pip install kivy.
Note: I have tried also with : python v 2.7.10 but to no avail.
Note: OS - Windows 7, 64-bit
[CODE] - this snippet is taken from kiwi org homepage.
from kivy.app import App
from kivy.uix.button import Button
class TestApp(App):
def build(self):
return Button(text='Hello World')
TestApp().run()

On Windows, glew
and sdl2
are required as dependencies. I had the same problem. Installing all the dependencies
python -m pip install docutils pygments pypiwin32 kivy.deps.sdl2 kivy.deps.glew
and then reinstalling kivy worked for me.
