ImportError: No module named app

[Sanket Dasgupta]

I have been trying to get started with Kivy and I did try almost everything for getting it working properly but failed. Whatever method I have tried of installing Kivy has only one error.

ImportError: No module named app

I am on Linux Mint 17 Cinnamon. Python 2.7.

I finally decided to ask the dev community, as I just really want to get started. Here is a screen:

Without knowing what you have done, it's very difficult to help. "Almost everything" tells us almost nothing ;-)

Please follow the steps here for Ubuntu and just check the messages at each step. Perhaps one of the steps is failing? Either way, we would just need to confirm exactly what you are doing.

Nothing fails during installation, I am pretty sure of that. Everything goes fine. And then just as I try to import kivy, it doesn't just import.

what happens if you make a python file with only one line:  "import kivy"  and then run it?  Does it show:  

[INFO   ] [Logger      ] Record log in /file_name.txt

[INFO   ] [Kivy        ] v1.9.0

[INFO   ] [Python      ] v2.7.6 (default, Mar 22 2014, 22:59:56)
