Using Kivy with Python 3.4

Question

I installed Kivy on my Mac. OS X comes with Python 2.7. I wanted to use the Python 3 enumeration function, so I installed Python 3.4. After a long search and hair removal, I pointed to this line.

exec $(python -c "import os, sys; print os.path.normpath(sys.prefix)")/bin/python2.7 "$@"

in the file /Applications/Kivy.app/Contents/Resources/ script. I changed it to:

exec /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.4/bin/python3.4 "$@"

hoping to get Kivy to use Python 3.4.

Now I get this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "main.py", line 1, in <module>
    from kivy.app import App
  File "/Applications/Kivy.app/Contents/Resources/kivy/kivy/app.py", line 321, in <module>
    from kivy.base import runTouchApp, stopTouchApp
  File "/Applications/Kivy.app/Contents/Resources/kivy/kivy/base.py", line 29, in <module>
    from kivy.event import EventDispatcher
  File "/Applications/Kivy.app/Contents/Resources/kivy/kivy/event.py", line 8, in <module>
    import kivy._event
ImportError: dlopen(/Applications/Kivy.app/Contents/Resources/kivy/kivy/_event.so, 2):    Symbol not found: _PyString_Type
  Referenced from: /Applications/Kivy.app/Contents/Resources/kivy/kivy/_event.so
  Expected in: flat namespace
 in /Applications/Kivy.app/Contents/Resources/kivy/kivy/_event.so

Can someone help me fix this error? Or is there a better way to get Kivy to use Python 3.4?

I installed Kivy 1.8.0.

I run the application from the terminal, for example

kivy main.py
