and its standard library. kivy is a bit outside that remit.
But pip isn't so...

I'm no expert on Kivy and only a basics guy on pip but...

Do you have Visual C++ installed?

It looks like its trying to use it to compile something...
But thats just a guess.

I've just noticed another reply saying there are binary
