Kivy error, [CRITICAL] [Text ] unable to find any valuable text provider (python 3.6.1) (windows 10)

Question

I have been trying to use Kivy (1.10.0) in pycharm, when it came to testing the install with:

from kivy.app import App
from kivy.uix.button import Button


class TutorialApp(App):

    def build(self):
        return Button(text='Hello Kivy')

if __name__ == '__main__':
    TutorialApp().run()

this was also tried with 'Label' in place of 'Button'

I got this when ran in pycharm both times:

[INFO   ] [Logger      ] Record log in C:\Users\Denise\.kivy\logs\kivy_17-08-12_56.txt

[CRITICAL] [App         ] Unable to get a Text provider, abort.

The same error occurred in python 3.6.1 shell when typing the following:

from kivy.uix.button import Button

or

from kivy.uix.button import Lable

Please help, how do I get Kivy to run?

Answer 1

pip install --upgrade pip wheel setuptools
pip install docutils pygments pypiwin32 kivy-deps.sdl2 kivy-deps.glew 
pip install kivy-deps.gstreamer 
pip install kivy-deps.angle 
pip install –-upgrade kivy

This will solve all that issue
