this seemed to work but when I tried ( as stated in the docs )  -- take it back I missed a step ( i looked carefully at

That’s it. You should now be able to import kivy in python or run a basic example:
 
 
 
python share\kivy-examples\demo\showcase\main.py
 
</pre>

Found other examples on git hub at https://github.com/kivy/kivy
 
Downloaded unzipped, but when I tried to run the first line import kivy fails.

So my fault -- works well enough to test some more
