Having the Error "ImportError: No module named setupconfig" with kivy

Trying to run the script in the question: Kivy Text Input for Arabic Text. 

from kivy.app import App
from kivy.uix.floatlayout import FloatLayout
from kivy.uix.textinput import TextInput


class EditorApp(App):
    def build(self):
        f = FloatLayout()
        textinput = TextInput(text='Hello world', font_name='DroidKufi-Regular.ttf')
        # import pdb; pdb.set_trace()

        f.add_widget(textinput)

        return f


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

I have Ubuntu 14.04 and I have installed Cython with apt-get and kivy with pip but still having this error:

 ImportError: No module named setupconfig

How could I fix that?

I found an issue submitted to kivy about "Setupconfig.py not installed with pip", they seems fixed and closed it.

However, I fixed the error by re-installing kivy via apt-get instead of pip. I followed the installation steps from official webpage:

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