Cannot run kivy 1.7.1 on MacOS X 10.8.4

[r3o...@gmail.com]

I am trying out kivy (1.7.1) on my Mac (10.8.4) but I can't get it to run. I downloaded the release binary, dragged the application into /Applications and ran the shell script to make a symlink so I can run from the command line. Running the introductory demo app using the command line I see:

$ kivy basicApp.py 

...

ERROR: pygame.macosx import FAILED

[WARNING] [WinPygame   ] SDL wrapper failed to import!

[DEBUG  ] [Window      ] Ignored <sdl> (import error)

[DEBUG  ] [Window      ] Ignored <x11> (import error)

 Exception SystemExit: 1 in 'kivy.properties.dpi2px' ignored

[CRITICAL] [App         ] Unable to get a Window, abort.

I assume kivy has its own python and support libs, but in case it matters, my default python is python.org's 64-bit python (for MacOS 10.6 and later). My python it has its own pygame and SDL (in /Library/Frameworks) so I tried deinstalling those, but it made no difference.

Also, I notice that when I run the app I can get an about box, but New and Open... in the file menu are grayed out.

Any suggestions?

I don't know if it will help you, but this is how you can view (and change) what python is used by kivy:

• Go to your Applications folder
• right-click Kivy and choose 'Show Package Contents' 
• look into Contents/Resources/script
• path to python should be on the last row of the 'script' file

Kivy version is 1.8.0-dev

Python version is Python 2.7.5

GCC is 4.2.1

pyGame is 1.9.2 for mac os x 10.7 :(

OS is Mac OS X 10.8.3

And it is my simple code:

#!/usr/bin/python

import pygame

import kivy

from kivy.app import App

from kivy.uix.floatlayout import FloatLayout

from kivy.properties import ObjectProperty, NumericProperty, StringProperty

from kivy.uix.button import Button

from kivy.core.window import Window

from kivy.config import Config

Config.set('graphics', 'width', '524')

Config.set('graphics', 'height', '668')

Config.set('graphics', 'resizable', (0, 1))

class Example(FloatLayout):

pot = NumericProperty()

def __init__(self, **kwargs):

super(Example, self).__init__(**kwargs)

def call(self):

self.pot += 100

def fold(self):

print "Fold"

class ExampleApp(App):

def build(self):

return Example(info=0)

if __name__ == '__main__':

ExampleApp().run()

And I use kv file as well, it is:

#:kivy 1.0

<Example>:

 

canvas:

    Color:

        rgb: 1, 1, 0

    Rectangle:

        pos: self.pos

        size: self.size

Button:

text: 'Call'

on_press: root.call()

size: (100,50)

size_hint: (None, None)

pos: (0,0)

Button:

text: 'Fold'

on_press: root.fold()

size: (100,50)

size_hint: (None, None)

pos: (105,0)

Label:

text: 'Pot ' + str(root.pot)

size: (100,10)

size_hint: (None, None)

pos: (100, 200)

color: (0, 0, 0, .9)

If anybody know solution for this problem, please help.

Thanks,

Tibi
