Trying to install kivy in fedora

Ok so I really like the sound of kivy, but installing it is proving to be a real pain, I have installed all dependencies that it has asked for but I keep getting this error message: 

Error compiling Cython file:

I'm not sure what to do with it so can someone please help me.

Many Thanks

I have don it, I needed to install Cython through pip, the command was:

sudo pip install -I Cython==0.21.2

And then I was able to successfully install kivy after that.
