Garden¶
New in version 1.7.0.
Changed in version 1.8.0.
Garden is a project to centralize addons for Kivy maintained by users. You can find more information at Kivy Garden. All the garden packages are centralized on the kivy-garden Github repository.
Garden is now distributed as a separate Python module, kivy-garden. You can install it with pip:
pip install kivy-garden
The garden module does not initially include any packages. You can download them with the garden tool installed by the pip package:
# Installing a garden package
garden install graph
# Upgrade a garden package
garden install --upgrade graph
# Uninstall a garden package
garden uninstall graph
# List all the garden packages installed
garden list
# Search new packages
garden search
# Search all the packages that contain "graph"
garden search graph
# Show the help
garden --help
All the garden packages are installed by default in ~/.kivy/garden.
Note
In previous versions of Kivy, garden was a tool at kivy/tools/garden. This no longer exists, but the kivy-garden module provides exactly the same functionality.
Packaging¶
If you want to include garden packages in your application, you can add –app to the install command. This will create a libs/garden directory in your current directory which will be used by kivy.garden.
For example:
cd myapp
garden install --app graph
-
kivy.garden.garden_system_dir= 'garden'¶ system path where garden modules can be installed
