Installation - ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'kivy.tools'

[Max Enrico]

Hi to all

I'm really new to kivi and I can't install it

I'm on windows 10 machine with python 3.6 portable (winpython)

I'm on the installation windows page (https://kivy.org/docs/installation/installation-windows.html)

Do all steps and at the 

"python -m pip install kivy"

I get this error message:

Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
      File "C:\Users\Enrico\AppData\Local\Temp\FreeCommanderPortableTemp\pip-build-ijoj1nuc\kivy\setup.py", line 322, in <module>
        from kivy.tools.packaging.factory import FactoryBuild
    ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'kivy.tools'

I've updated all modules and tried some times the installation.

Every steps before this ends well.

p.s. install python isn't a solution obviously

For 3.5+ you need the nightly wheel. Pip version is too old.

Hi

Thank @matham

It's really... for a while

^__^

I have to install ez_setup and then retry the weel installation whit this command line:

    WinPython-64bit-3.6.0.1Qt5\python-3.6.0.amd64>python -m pip install C:\...\py\kivy\Kivy-1.9.2.dev0-cp36-cp36m-win_amd64.whl

It seem to go but then stop with this message error:

     File "C:\WinPython-64bit-3.6.0.1Qt5\python-3.6.0.amd64\lib\site-packages\ez_setup.py", line 467, in _extractall
        self.chown(tarinfo, dirpath)
    TypeError: chown() missing 1 required positional argument: 'numeric_owner'


    ----------------------------------------
   Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in C:\Users\Enrico\AppData\Local\Temp\pip-build-sm5cgo2f\Kivy-Garden\

Try updating pip. Also try with wheel install rather than pip.
