I installed python 2.7.10 (I think python3 was already installed in ubuntu =
14.04). Then i downloaded kivy from https://pypi.python.org/packages/source=
/K/Kivy/Kivy-1.9.0.tar.gz, extracted it and tried to execute "python setup.=
py" inside the kivy folder.

I didn't actually click the link. But it's still apt-get, just with an
additional repository. In any case, it's way better to use a package
manager (either system-provided or Python-provided) than to do
everything manually.
