How to expand label height in KivyMD?

I want to make the label height dynamically expanded depending on the size of text inside. I tried this:

from kivymd.label import MDLabel

label = MDLabel(
    text="My looooooooooong text",
    width=500,
    size_hint=(None, None)
)

But the height of this label is fixed and the text is shown deformed. How to make the height expanded?

I am using Python 3 and KivyMD library.

To make your mdlabel expand with the text, set the height property to this: height=self.texture_size[1]

However, you must understand that the containing parent widget must also have self.minimum_height as its height and None size_hint_y to accomodate the expansion of its child widget

The MDLabel class inherits from kivy.uix.Label. All arguments you'll pass normally to kivy.uix.Label can be passed to the MDLabel. Checking the constructor for MDLabel validates this.

To make a label with unlimited height, you'll construct the Label like so:

label = MDLabel(text='My looooooooooong text', text_size=(500, None))
