How did you install Python 2.7?  How did you install Kivy?  Note that Kivy
states 10.7 or 10.8 is required.

My suggestion is to use MacPorts to build Python 2.7 (or something similar,
like HomeBrew or Fink), then build Kivy from source, rather than using the
Mac installer.  The Mac installer for Kivy would be reasonable in expecting
Python 2.7 to be installed in the standard Frameworks directory since it
requires Python 2.7.

Another option is to grok the MacPorts Portfile for Python 2.7 to figure
out how they compile it using the Mac Framework and emulate that process
when you build Python 2.7 from source (but don't install to /opt/local).

If all else fails, upgrade to 10.7 ;).

Good luck,
Jason
