It looks like you have anaconda installed which has kivy in it....so if your eclipse IDE is directed to use a different python then its not going to be able to use kivy if that python version doesnt have kivy installed to it. I dont use elcipse, so i dont know how exactly to tell you to switch or ensure it is using that python. But all IDE's have a method in which allows you to change the python interpreter it using.

Hi,

I have added the anaconda interpreter in eclipse hence I was able to use it.
Thanks does it mean that packages installed in python interpreter cannot be used and the preferences has to be change??
