Hi

I am just getting started with Python 3.3.3 and Kivy 1.8.

I am using the Kivy  development environment on Windows (open a command prompt and call kivy.bat).

With this minimal code:

import kivy
kivy.require('1.8.0')

from kivy.app import App
from kivy.uix.label import Label

class MyApp(App):
  def build(self):
    return Label(text='Hello World')

  if __name__ == '__main__':
    MyApp().run()

I get this error when I run it:

C:\>python MinimalApplication.py

     class MyApp(App):
   File "MinimalApplication.py", line 12, in MyApp
     MyApp().run()
 NameError: name 'MyApp' is not defined

How can I fix this please?

Best regards

David
