Howdy, I'm a newb. I tried to be a newb earlier, but kept running into issues. So now I'm trying again.

I'm having an issue trying to run MPF v0.52.3. I'm getting the following error in the mc log:

File "c:\users\daveh\appdata\local\programs\python\python36\lib\site-packages\mpfmc\uix\widget.py", line 960, in _repr__
return '<WidgetContainer id={} z={} key={}>'.format(self.id, self.z, self.key)
File "kivy\properties.pyx", line 506, in kivy.properties.Property.__get__
RecursionError: maximum recursion depth exceeded while calling a Python object
2019-07-01 17:56:49,283 : kivy : Stopping child threads... (1 remaining)
2019-07-01 17:56:50,288 : kivy : All child threads stopped.

The line about widget.py is listed over and over again in the log with that line about returning the WidgetContainer. I get this every time I'm trying to run the media controller. Attempting to start the demo_man example (with "mpf both -X") it looks like the MC tries to start, but then exits (with the above error). The mpf then says in a white line in the middle: "WAITING FOR MEDIA CONTROLLER localhost:5050". And that will just sit there.

I apologize if I missed something in the tutorial or docs, however, I was cutting and pasting right out of the docs step by step. This is running on Windows 10 1809 and I am using the 0.52 examples.

Thanks for any assistance or info that can lead me to an answer. I'm not familiar with python, but I'm always willing to learn.

Thanks. Giving that a shot now.

Yup, I was about to post that response from the other board here in case someone ever found this page on google. Thanks for the help.

Ok, just to close this one out totally:

After doing this, I still had the issue, but that was caused by me trying to "fix" it. When this hadn't worked originally, I ended up upgrading Python (I had 3.6 and 3.7 installed). So this fix (pip3 install kivy==1.10.1) didn't work for me. I had to uninstall python 3.7, and then I could see that the 3.6 install still had kivy 1.11.1. I then downgraded the kivy in python 3.6, and poof, things started being able to run. And with that, I'm on my way to finding the next way to mess this up
