Label: halign does not work. text always centered

Text always shows centered, regardless of halign parameter.

import kivy

from kivy.app import App
from kivy.uix.label import Label

class P(App):
    def build(self):
        return Label(text='Text',halign='left')


P().run()

I have used these for Label text in the kv file to align text. it works… thanks lexelby. text_size:self.size halign:‘left’ valign:‘middle’

In KV, I tried texture_size: self.size. I got left-justified text, but the text was stretched to the size of the Label. text_size: self.size leaves the text unstretched and seems to allow halign to work.

I’m still not completely sure I understand the mechanisms at work here, though.
