Installing kivy in portable python

[Fidel Pérez]

Hi:

Im trying to install kivy in Portable python 2.7

Im in this situation because I destroyed my previous non portable python version by trying to install kivy on it (dont ask me how I managed to do that, I just know that I had to reinstall windows to get python to work again xD) I broke it by failing with some of the several required modules installation.

I found this precompiled kivy: http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#kivy

It works when I install it in a standard python 2.7, so if there is no other way arround I will just use that way. (I tested in a VM)

Has anyone been able to install that in a portable python? The error im getting is that "python 2.7 version required" but maybe there is a way to merge portable python with the portable python provided by kivy?

Thank you very much.

Hi

I believe the kivy package for windows is based on a portable python
with all the required modules, wouldn't that work for you?

Hi Gabriel, thanks for your answer.

The thing is that portable python shipped with kivy lacks of some useful modules like numpy and others that I intend to use.

Im aware that those modules are not so useful in multy-platform since they are probably not translated to android,ios, etc.

But my intent is to use kivy as GUI in the first place as a standard for all my apps- gui's.

It wold be awesome that kivy was packed with this portable python software, which already has all the most-used existing modules.

I have decided to just install and use normal python since I really want to start playing with kivy, but this suggestion might still be a good idea, for kivy to be shipped with portable-python.

Thanks for the support.

Right, but on the other hand, the portable package we ship contains pip,
and everything needed to compile extensions, so you can open the
provided shell, and should be able to run "pip install numpy" or other
packages you need, so you can use them in your kivy applications.

Thanks tshirtman!

I will definetly wok into it and post my conclusions, definetly want a portable python with kivy, but right now im just too excited with Kivy itself, just made my first app with two buttons on a box layout!!

Btw nice nick hehe.

Indeed! kivy is the quickest easiest to learn GUI that I have ever tryed... but it works in any platform.. amazing stuff, really.

Im integrating it into a VIM-like project, Leo Editor, and I think pretty interesting things will come out from that mix, will keep you updated guys.

Thanks for this awesome project!!
