More kivy woes...
I'm trying to maintain and upgrade an existing Kivy based application (Pi3 + Buster, Kivy 2.1.0, python3.7)
I've just added .pdf file export using fpdf2 (working great on desktop running Kivy 2.3 python 3.12) but attempting to run this on the RPI throws errors, because fpdf2 requires something better than python3.7 and buster doesn't have it !
I have had no luck getting Kivy to work without a DTE on anything later than buster because it 'cannot get window' without going via a DTE and I've not been able to find out why
So, Can anyone point me to some easy to follow instruction to get Kivy to working with any 'lite' OS later than buster OR a way to run a later version of python on buster (needs to be auto-started via a script)
