    Hi John,

    To install Python and Kivy in Visual Studio, follow these steps:

    1. Install Visual Studio: Ensure that you include the Python development workload during installation.
    2. Install Python: Download and install the latest version of Python from python.org.
    3. Install PTVS (Python Tools for Visual Studio): This extension adds support for Python development.
    4. Configure PTVS: After installing, set up the Python interpreter in Visual Studio.
    5. Create a Python project: Go to "File" -> "New Project" -> "Python Application."
    6. Install Kivy: Open a terminal in Visual Studio and run:
      
         pip install kivy
      
      

    For more details, refer to the official documentation:
