I want to install kivy (link here) to use for a project, however, when trying to use pip to install the packages it is dependent upon, I get the following error:
Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement kivy.deps.sdl2 (from versions: )
No matching distribution found for kivy.deps.sdl2
Further reading on kivy's website revealed that these libraries do not support Python 3.5 on windows 10 because of some kind of graphical bug. The website says you need python 3.4 in order to be able to install it.
Which brings the question: How do I install python 3.4 when I already have python 3.5?
We can remove and install the required version of Python to downgrade it. First, we need to download the package from the official website and install it. Then, we need to go to the Frameworks\Python. framework\Versions directory and remove the version which is not needed.
If you have an Anaconda installation you can just type:
conda install python=3.4
And it installs 3.4, to re-install 3.5, it's
conda install python=3.5
It works in under a minute.
