Windows - can not import kivy after installation

I installed Kivy as mentioned in the docs.

Then I imported it and got this error, see the gist

ValueError: invalid interpolation syntax in 'kivy_%y-%m-%d_%h_.txt' at position 5

I was able to fix it by changing the line in config.py

from

Config.setdefault('kivy', 'log_name', 'kivy_%y-%m-%d_%_.txt')

to

Config.setdefault('kivy', 'log_name', 'kivy_%%y-%%m-%%d_%%_.txt')

It worked afterwards, see gist

Also, I noticed that the double %% were in the config.ini file. This change brought more consistiency in my eyes.

Pull-request incoming.

@niccokunzmann Try installing non-admin with KivyInstaller, so that it won’t leave dirt in your system. Although I use 3.4.4 if I have to, it shouldn’t be problem to set the version in the batch. You should be able to call idle from the batch after installation. I’ve never experienced this issue and for all py2 and py3 win versions it works for me. Delete the folder if you don’t want it after the checking.

If it works with the installer, problem is your installation, not kivy.

@KeyWeeUsr This works for me. Now I can stop installing and start creating applications with kivy.
