How to run a kivy script in the kivy VM?

Question

So I am looking into using Kivy for Android development. Defeating the jedi etc.

But I have hit a roadblock! I installed the Kivy VM image in VirtualBox, but when I try to run the test script:

# /usr/bin/kivy
__version__ = 1.0
from kivy.app import App
from kivy.uix.button import Button

class Hello(App):
    def build(self):
        btn = Button(text='Hello World')
        return  btn

Hello().run()

Using: python main.py

I get:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "main.py", line 3, in <module>
    from kivy.app import App
ImportError: No module named kivy.app

Answer 1

do you have a file named kivy.py in the same folder as main.py?

try

#!/usr/bin/kivy
import kivy
print kivy.__file__

Answer 2

I tried just plain installing kivy as they say to on their website, and it worked.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kivy-team/kivy
apt-get install python-kivy
