Kivy: enchant - ImportError: No module named 'enchant'

[davied9]

Versions

• Python: 3.5.2
• OS:Windows-10-10.0.17134-SP0
• Kivy:v1.10.0
• Kivy installation method: follow wiki of kivy on github

Description

Try to build an app on windows, I'll encounter the problem "No module named 'enchant'"
so I search everwhere I can only to find out that the maintainer have gave up on supporting pyenchant for windows x64 + python3.5 (here)
So I need to know is there any way to fix this for win10x64+python35

PS: this will not affect the function for my current build, it runs normally, but it is still a potential problem for further development ....

There is no alternative provider for spell checking right now, I'm afraid.

The only thing you can do there right now is to try to build it yourself. Or maybe wait until someone steps up as a maintainer of that library. :slightly_frowning_face:

[jarzab3]

Try:
pip install --user pyenchant
Make sure you are using correct pip version. Namely, it could be pip2 or pip3.

This won't work, and the enchant C library need to be compiled by myself, or wait for someone else as @dolang mentioned above. But still, thanks for help.

Well, we cannot handle the fact that enchant is not supported anymore. So the only thing would be to add a warning in the documentation, and work on use another library.
