Kivy: python -m pip install k ivy.deps.gstreamer locks command prompt window & memory error

[frankgould]

I ran the command below:

python -m pip install kivy.deps.gstreamer --extra-index-url https://kivy.org/downloads/packages/simple/
It generated the following messages then locked up (couldn't CNTL-C or escape out of script):
[INFO ] [Logger ] Record log in c:/users/build/data/logs\mp-ss_16-12-07_1.txt

Log file listed in message above contains the same information as the message above.

UPDATE: Tried this a third time and it started downloading gstreamer. Results:

I went to https://kivy.org/downloads/packages/simple/kivy-deps-gstreamer/
Downloaded the correct version. Then ran python -m pip install
This worked and solved this memory problem as a workaround.

For the record, this is caused by caching in pip. Another fix is:

$ pip --no-cache-dir install kivy.deps.gstreamer

[zaban]

It's true! --no-cache-dir works fine!

For the record, this is caused by caching in pip. Another fix is:

$ pip --no-cache-dir install kivy.deps.gstreamer

Thank you so much! On the kivy website, they tell you to do the same; except there is written "-no" instead of "--no" which does not work and so I was confused. But your comment helped. Thanks again.
