Kivy on Mac

I started to explore Kivy on mac.  Its a python based UI developement tool.  It looks cool.  You can develop Mobile, Desktop and cross platform UI using this tool.  For anyone struggling to install it on mac.  Instructions look simple on their site but has missed a small note.  I googled and finally found the fix.

1.  Install Kivy from DMG
2.  script file needs a soft link created under /usr/local/bin
3.  You may need use sudo with the below command based on your setup.
ln -s /Applications/Kivy.app/Contents/Resources/script /usr/local/bin/kiv
Once this is done, you will just run any examples under  /Applications/Kivy.app/Contents/Resources/examples folder 

cd to the folder and type kivy main.py (in mycase main.py was the file i was running)
