Question

Im trying to install kivy in my portable python with this installer: http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#kivy (Its a pre-compiled version of kivy)

When executing the file, it says "Python 2.7 version required", but since the python version im using is portable, I guess this is normal.

So my question is, is there a workarround to install a precompiled package in portable python? By somehow registering the portable python installation?

More (maybe innecesary) information:

My guess would be registering portable python in the system (Windows 7 64), but I already tried by changing the "path" enviroiment variable to point all the required python paths without success.

I cant use the kivy modules to install it by compiling it on my computer because its too hard for me,(cython wont work, or then another of the 7 different modules will give me problems, untill i destroy my python installation. I already destroyed my previous python installation while doing so, and had to reinstall windows to get python working again -_-

Thats why I want to migrate into portable python, but if this is not possible I will just go back to normal python and install kivy on it...

Was it helpful?

Solution 2

Double click on the kivy.bat.

You will have a console have easy_install and pip available. Compiler is set to Mingw, and cython is already installed. Everything will be installed in the portable installation, not your system installation.

Enjoy :)

Note: if you want to see how we do, just edit the kivy.bat.

OTHER TIPS

The Kivy package on windows includes a portable python installation with Kivy installed.
