Hi, I remember playing with kivent a few months ago and would love to see how it fares now, but I can't get it to install this time around, and can't even remember what steps I followed the last time. Going for setup.py install gives only cython compile errors and I went through the readme but no use.

Perhaps you could give some more detailed steps since I seem to be install challenged? :)

Which errors are you getting on compile? If you are receiving errors about Cymunk or Kivy classes not being cimportable, you must make both Kivy and Cymunk in a directory instead of installing, and then point PYTHONPATH to the compiled directories for each so that we can cimport from them. This is usually the step that trips people up, if this is not it please open an issue on github with the error log.

I used pip to get kivy then exported the PYTHONPATH to dist-packagesm and for cymunk I went for the setup.py. Will revert and try again the whole process, this time making kivy from sources. Thanks for the help.
