Kivy says it installs but doesn't in Pycharm

[Greg Harabedian]

I'm running Pycharm 2018.1 and tried installing Kivy via the Project Interpreter package installer.  It said it succeeded, but doesn't show up in the package list.  It seems to have installed a package called "Kivy-Garden".  Any idea why Kivy isn't installing?

Try following the istallation instruction for a standard kivy install then see if pycharm picks it up...

Hi Greg,

    I encountered lots of problems using kivy and PyCharm on Windows 7, you don't say much about which operating system you are using, or other packages you have installed? I have it working now but feel the solution was more luck than judgement. I use Windows 7 version of Pycharm 2018.1 with Python 3.5 and Cython==0.27.3
