Compatibility module for Python 2.7 and > 3.3¶

This module provides a set of utility types and functions for optimization and to aid in writing Python 2/3 compatibile code.

kivy.compat.clock() → floating point number¶: A clock with the highest available resolution on your current Operating System.

kivy.compat.string_types¶

A utility type for detecting string in a Python 2/3 friendly way. For example:

if isinstance(s, string_types):
    print("It's a string or unicode type")
else:
    print("It's something else.")

alias of basestring

kivy.compat.isclose(a, b, rel_tol=1e-09, abs_tol=0.0)¶: Measures whether two floats are “close” to each other. Identical to https://docs.python.org/3.6/library/math.html#math.isclose, for older versions of python.
