Yes, I've seen a few of these SyntaxWarning's start to pop up as well. 
They have started popping up because Python 3.8 (or maybe 3.7) has started 
to report them, whereas they were ignored before.

If you feel so inclined, you could report them as bugs in python3-kivy and 
python3-fife package.  If you feel even further inclined, you could submit 
a patch to fix them.  :)
