Public bug reported:
I've tested the official python3-kivy package (1.9.1-1build3) on bionic, artful
and xenial.
It doesn't work on any of those systems. Here's a simple way to verify, just
run in your shell:
python3 -c 'from kivy.base import runTouchApp as r; from kivy.uix.button
import Button as B; r(B("Hello Kivy"))'
There's an additional problem on artful that prevents both python-kivy and
python3-kivy from running, but that's a known bug which can be circumvented by
setting multisampling to 0 in ~/.kivy/config.ini.
The Kivy developers maintain a PPA, and the kivy-daily version works on
all 3 distros (both py2 and py2). You may want to have a look at it
here:
https://github.com/kivy-kivy-sdk-packager/tree/master/linux/debian
Note: Building the package itself successfully is not a guarantee for it
to work correctly, because it is designed to run with different backend
components.
Also, feel free to contact the devs so this can get sorted out more
easily. A few ways to do so are listed here:

If you need more information, I'm happy to assist, too.
