I can't import kivy in python

I use windows 10 64-bit, python 3.6, pip 8.1.2 and kivy 1.9.1. kivywas installed according to the documentation.

After installing kivy I can't import it as I get this error 

ImportError: No module named 'kivy'

How can I solve this I searched many times and followed the steps and it ends up with the same problem

Ensure you have the latest pip and wheel:

python -m pip install --upgrade pip wheel setuptools

Install the dependencies (skip gstreamer (~120MB) if not needed, see Kivy’s dependencies):

python -m pip install docutils pygments pypiwin32 kivy.deps.sdl2 kivy.deps.glew

python -m pip install kivy.deps.gstreamer

Note

If you encounter a MemoryError while installing, add after pip install an option

–no-cache-dir

.

For Python 3.5+, you can also use the angle backend instead of glew. This can be installed with:

python -m pip install kivy.deps.angle

Install kivy:

python -m pip install kivy

(Optionally) Install the kivy examples:

python -m pip install kivy_examples

The examples are installed in the share directory under the root directory where python is installed.

This is old, but if anyone stumbles on it the answer can be found here: trying to install kivy on my pc i get the following errors

All the convenience of wheels can be found with 3.6 now as well as with older versions
