I recently installed kivy
in my Ubuntu 16.04 machine, and tried to create first application with it as given in the docs.
But as soon as I tried running main.py
, I got the following error:

I am unable to understand what is happening. I even tried installing pygame
using following command:
python3 -m pip install pygame --user
but it did not remove the error. Please can anyone help me out!!
