Kivy Also has Its Own Language, `.kv`

ThePeeps191 opened this issue 3 years ago · 12 comments

We have the Kivy module in Python: Kivy.py, but Kivy also has its own language: Kivy with the .kv extension. Should we make any changes?

language: https://kivy.org/doc/stable/guide/lang.html

yes

Answer 1 · 2022-01-23T21:16:07.000Z

Is the code any different?

Answer 2 · 2022-01-23T21:18:45.000Z

.kv is its own language, VERY different from python

Answer 3 · 2022-01-23T21:20:17.000Z

it's called the "Kivy design language"

Answer 4 · 2022-01-23T21:21:14.000Z

example:

Label:
        text: "Hello World"

Then we should replace the Python lib with the language.

Answer 7 · 2022-01-23T22:41:17.000Z

The language is called Kv, not Kivy, as can be seen on the website.

as quoted:

The KV language, sometimes called kvlang or the kivy language, allows you to create your widget tree in a declarative way and to bind widget properties to each other or to callbacks in a natural manner.

Answer 9 · 2022-01-23T22:53:11.000Z

its also called the kivy language

Answer 10 · 2022-01-23T22:57:24.000Z

@ThePeeps191 but the correct name is still KV

Answer 11 · 2022-01-23T22:58:01.000Z

Also, I think the Python one should be kept. Kivy (the Python module) and KV (the language) are different things.

@ThePeeps191 Like you said, it's VERY different.
