Kivy error, [CRITICAL] [Text ] unable to find any valuable text provider (python 3.6.1) (windows 10)
Solution 1
pip install --upgrade pip wheel setuptools
pip install docutils pygments pypiwin32 kivy-deps.sdl2 kivy-deps.glew
pip install kivy-deps.gstreamer
pip install kivy-deps.angle
pip install –-upgrade kivy
This will solve all that issue
Solution 2
In PyCharmm in the Project Interpreter, add all the packages that start with:
kivy-deps.
With the exclusion of the ones with "dev" in the title
Solution 3
According to the source code
if 'KIVY_DOC' not in os.environ:
if not Label:
from kivy.logger import Logger
import sys
Logger.critical('App: Unable to get a Text provider, abort.')
sys.exit(1)
Make sure you have installed all the dependencies according to installation guide.
Solution 4
I was facing this problem, then I did this... ( This is for people using pycharm and installed all packages but still not working)
In settings->Project Interpreter ->Green Plus Icon to install package
Then search for "kivy.deps.sdl2", and install.
I hope this helps.

I have been trying to use Kivy (1.10.0) in pycharm, when it came to testing the install with:
from kivy.app import App from kivy.uix.button import Button class TutorialApp(App): def build(self): return Button(text='Hello Kivy') if __name__ == '__main__': TutorialApp().run()
this was also tried with 'Label' in place of 'Button'
I got this when ran in pycharm both times:
[INFO ] [Logger ] Record log in C:\Users\Denise\.kivy\logs\kivy_17-08-12_56.txt [INFO ] [Kivy ] v1.10.0 [INFO ] [Python ] v3.6.1 (v3.6.1:69c0db5, Mar 21 2017, 17:54:52) [MSC v.1900 32 bit (Intel)] [INFO ] [Factory ] 194 symbols loaded [INFO ] [Image ] Providers: img_tex, img_dds, img_gif (img_sdl2, img_pil, img_ffpyplayer ignored) [CRITICAL] [Text ] Unable to find any valuable Text provider. sdl2 - ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.

The same error occurred in python 3.6.1 shell when typing the following:
from kivy.uix.button import Button
or
from kivy.uix.button import Lable
Please help, how do I get Kivy to run?
