Python 3.4 series is safe for installing and executing Python Kivy (macOS)

A memorandum because I failed while installing Kivy on Python 3.6 series and creating a Kivy application for studying.

It may work with Python 3.6 as it may be individual environment dependent.

FAQ (https://kivy.org/docs/faq.html#does-kivy-support-python-3-x) -python-3-x) also stated that it was 3.3 or higher, so I thought that the installed 3.6.0 would be okay.

environment

Install Kivy with the following configuration.

• OS: macOS Sierra
• Kivy 1.10.0
• Homebrew
  • pyenv ( global 3.6.0 )

Follow the Kivy installation procedure https://kivy.org/docs/installation/installation-osx.html. (Implemented with Homebrew with pip)

But it didn't work properly

• Exception throw: pygame --ModuleNotFoundError: No module named'pygame'
• Execute pip install pygame to install pygame, but drawing does not work properly (canvas / Image / Label / rendering, BoxLayout does not work, etc.)
• Window does not go to foreground properly
• Redraw event does not occur after window resizing

Install Python 3.4 series

• Homebrew (deleted everything and reinserted from 1)
• Install Python 3.4.6 with pyenv install

Install Kivy again

The result was as intended

I reinstalled Homebrew itself, so I installed Python 3.6.0 + Kivy again, but the above error occurred and it still did not work properly.

There was a similar thread on stackoverflow.

In the Kivy area, the 3.4 series may be the de facto standard, but since it was my first look, I reviewed my program many times, but this time it was a problem due to the version of the execution environment.
