Open KudosPower opened 3 years ago

Kivy I try to install Kivy from PyPI in Juno. It’s available but it shows “Failed to intall Kivy 2.0.0.” as attached screen. How can I install it?

Hi @KudosPower — the error means that this package has native extensions, and can't be installed due to platform restrictions. Typically, this means that you need to raise a package request in this tracker, and we will port the package by building its native extensions and embedding it in Juno. However, I'm not sure this can be done for Kivy, as it's effectively a GUI framework (as far as I can tell) — and Jupyter only allows HTML UI in the cell output area. So I'm not sure how it would work with Jupyter and Juno if I'm honest, but I'll leave this issue open for now, just in case.
