Kivy execution error

Iam trying to run a simple sample code of Hello World which is as follows:

import kivy
kivy.require('1.8.0') # replace with your current kivy version !

from kivy.app import App
from kivy.uix.button import Button

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

if __name__ == '__main__':
    MyApp().run()

and i have saved this as hello.py which then i run by using kivy-1.8.0 which in turn gives me an error message titled Kivy Fatal Error and the rest of the description is in Chinese,Japanese or Korean language.

Is there a problem of graphics card? or Is there any other way to a Kivy application

please help.

Possible issues with kivy (and python):

  • Indentation issues: make doubly sure that your indents are consistent: they should all be the same. If you are using a tab, make sure it is a tab everywhere. If you are using multiple spaces make sure they are the same number everywhere.
  • A more kivy specific issue: try to comment out line 2 (kivy.require('1.8.0')). You may not have the correct version of kivy installed. Alternatively, decrease that number (1.0.6 should be more than enough for what you are doing in this simple application).

I don't know what the issue could be with the language you get the message in. Perhaps you installed some weird distribution, or selected some language pack that it is defaulting to.

Please post the full terminal output from when the app is run.

I don't remember what the funny character message means (it's nonsense, not real text), but I think it indicates a too-low opengl version. The appearance of the garbled message is itself a bug that I think is fixed in kivy master.
