We are not likely to release a 1.11.1 version for 3.8 to pypi. However, you can install kivy master using pip install kivy[base] kivy_examples --pre --extra-index-url https://kivy.org/downloads/simple/.

Hello.

SystemExit: error: Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 is required.

You can download build tools on https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/fr/thank-you-downloading-visual-studio/?sku=BuildTools&rel=16

@GwenaelPellenArkeup this is because the install is trying to compile in case of absence of pre-built binary in wheels.

Kivy should be releasing a 3.8 wheel shortly.

Waiting for https://github.com/appveyor/ci/issues/3142.

Also, seems manylinux wheel build was broken when 3.8 was released and manylinux wheels have not been building since start of Oct.

I think the error because kivy still not support python 3.8.0 until new

I have the same problem and I was thinking its macosCatalina, thank you this is super helpful any idea when the new kivy support for python3.8 will be available?

hi
if you go to kivy downloads page you will see the supported versions of
python from kivy is 2.7 and 5.3 to 3.7
so kivy not support python 3.8 yet

Is this fixed? I still cant't use kivy with python 3.8. It shows its only available with python 2.7, however, its about to be deprecated for 2.7 :/ please help

its December now kivy is not installing. what should i do now.
does anyone have any idea how long would it take? switching to older version of python is the only option?

try installing by downloading kivy from https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#kivy
and dont use pycharm

thanks a bunch. This really works for me finally. But I've to select Python 2.7 as my base interpreter using pycharm. I seriously in love with kivy and it wasn't cooperating.

Finally came to realise that there's still no updated version of kivy that works cool with python 3.8.. Oh c'mon kivy!
