Title: - fixes issue #649, simpler alternative to pull request # 651

Doesn't touch `kivy.uix.label` and remains compatible with python 3 (for future porting efforts)

Seemed to me that the issue was in accessing text, not writing it, so I tried a different approach. Another benefit of this version is more specific exception handling, which should make it easier to debug further issues as other exceptions won't fall through unnoticed.
