(Windows7) First attempt and error in launching Python app with kivy

[Giovanni Bucci]

Hi All,

I have tried to execute this simple python app in Windows 7 (from command prompt: python TestApp.py)

from kivy.app import App

from kivy.uix.button import Button

class TestApp(App):

    def build(self):

        return Button(text='Hello World')

TestApp().run()

The output of the execution is the following.

The other post of your produced an error that required upgrading to python 3.5, and this is 3.4. If you still experience this error using 3.5, please re-post.

Thanks
