I got the same issue on windows 10 but I was able to solve it.

Versions

Python : 3.7.1 OS: Windows 10 Kivy: 1.10.1

Fix

I found that the problem are the dependencies used by Kivy, so I use pip tools to get a good set of dependencies.

Install pip-tools

pip-tools is a great tool to get your pacakges on place you could get more information here

pip install pip-tools

Generate requirements.in

From the kivy page I got the main libraries that I need and based on that I created my requirments.in

(.venv) PS D:\projects\game> Get-Content -path .\requirements.in
kivy
cython
docutils
pygments
pypiwin32
kivy.deps.sdl2
kivy.deps.glew
kivy.deps.gstreamer
(.venv) PS D:\projects\game>

Compile requirements.in

(.venv) PS D:\projects\game> pip-compile.exe .\requirements.in
#
# This file is autogenerated by pip-compile
# To update, run:
#
#    pip-compile --output-file .\requirements.txt .\requirements.in
#
certifi==2018.11.29       # via requests
chardet==3.0.4            # via requests
cython==0.29.2
docutils==0.14
idna==2.7                 # via requests
kivy-garden==0.1.4        # via kivy
kivy.deps.glew==0.1.10
kivy.deps.gstreamer==0.1.13
kivy.deps.sdl2==0.1.18
kivy==1.10.1
pygments==2.3.0
pypiwin32==223
pywin32==224              # via pypiwin32
requests==2.20.1          # via kivy-garden
urllib3==1.24.1           # via requests
(.venv) PS D:\projects\game>

Install depdencies

In this point you could use different commands but just to continue with pip-tools I use pip-sync:

(.venv) PS D:\projects\game> pip-sync.exe .\requirements.txt

Please use the requirments.txt to install the dependencies.

I hope this help you a little bit.

I had the same problem. I solved it by first uninstalling Kivy and its dependencies :

python -m pip uninstall kivy python -m pip uninstall kivy.deps.sdl2 python -m pip uninstall kivy.deps.glew python -m pip uninstall kivy.deps.gstreamer

Now reinstalling everything except gstreamer.

python -m pip install --upgrade pip wheel setuptools python -m pip install docutils pygments pypiwin32 kivy.deps.sdl2 kivy.deps.glew --extra-index-url https://kivy.org/downloads/packages/simple/

the https://kivy.org/......etc is the end of the previous python -m pip install docutils…etc… then install kivy again

python -m pip install kivy

It should work, it worked for me !!!
