No module named kivy.setupconfig

Hi,

When installing Kivy 1.9.1 as a dependency of one of my packages I get the error ImportError: No module named 'kivy.setupconfig.

My setup.py file looks like this and installs without errors:

from setuptools import setup
CYTHON_REQ = "cython==0.23.4"
setup(
    name = 'MyApp',
    version = "0.1.0",
    author = "MelleB",
    setup_requires = [ CYTHON_REQ ],
    install_requires = [ CYTHON_REQ, 'kivy==1.9.1' ]
)

During the build, the following line is displayed: Updated /tmp/easy_install-4drozlb6/kivy-1.9.1/kivy/setupconfig.py

After digging into kivy’s setup.py, I noticed the setupconfig.py file is generated. From my understanding it seems the setupconfig.py isn’t part of the mItanifest.

A possible solution might be to add a ‘setupconfig.py’ entry to the setup’s package_data (In https://github.com/kivy/kivy/blob/fddade6ce3b8a3be77d22cd3f973c9c930799874/setup.py#L959)

I found a possibliy related bug + PR in #2850

Environment

Platform: Ubuntu 16.04LTS Kivy: 1.9.1 Python: 3.5.1

Steps to reproduce

$ pyenv intall 3.5.1
$ pyenv virtualenv 3.5.1 kivy-setupconfig-issue
$ mkdir kivy-setupconfig-issue && cd kivy-setupconfig-issue
$ pyenv local kivy-setupconfig-issue
$ cat > setup.py
from setuptools import setup
CYTHON_REQ = "cython==0.23.4"
setup(
    name = 'MyApp',
    version = "0.1.0",
    author = "MelleB",
    setup_requires = [ CYTHON_REQ ],
    install_requires = [ CYTHON_REQ, 'kivy==1.9.1' ]
)

$ python setup.py install

After that, the issue can be confirmed with:

$ python

Still seeing this issue with Kivy 1.10.0 installed via pip. I’ve actually had quite the headache trying to get my little kivy app working on ReadTheDocs because of how difficult kivy is to install correctly.
