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

[akshayaurora]

@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.

[matham]

Waiting for appveyor/ci#3142.

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

[ghost]

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

[BenkiKuu]

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?

[ghost]

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

[gagan5ingh]

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?

[gagan5ingh]

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

[matham]

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/.
