How to load string from text file to kivy label, Python 3.5 - python-3.x

Question

I've been searching around for answers on stackoverflow for a couple of days now to be honest but I could not find the thing for me, lets say I have a text file named bind.txt with a couple lines of text, how can i load that text file to a kivy label? be it directly or indirectly. I've been trying to teach myself python and this is kind of in the way of me building my first app. Thank you in advance, and heres the code.
from kivy.app import App
from kivy.uix.label import Label
from kivy.uix.scrollview import ScrollView
from kivy.uix.widget import Widget
from kivy.uix.boxlayout import BoxLayout
from kivy.lang import Builder
from kivy.properties import StringProperty
from kivy.uix.screenmanager import ScreenManager, Screen, FadeTransition
class MainScreen(Screen):
pass
class MainLabel(ScrollView):
text = StringProperty("")
class ScreenManagement(ScreenManager):
pass
presentation = Builder.load_file("bind.kv")
class MainApp(App):
def build(self):
return presentation
if __name__ == "__main__":
MainApp().run()
And the kv file.
#: import FadeTransition kivy.uix.screenmanager.FadeTransition
ScreenManagement:
transition: FadeTransition()
MainScreen:
<MainLabel>:
text: #bind.txt here, somehow..
Label:
text: root.text
font_size: 15
text_size: self.width, None
size_hint_y: None
height: self.texture_size[1]
<MainScreen>:
name: "main"
canvas.before:
Rectangle:
pos: self.pos
size: self.size
source: 'img/Fundal.png'
MainLabel

You can open file in reading mode, store contents in a variable and assign it to the text property.
For an example
with open("bind.txt") as f:
contents = f.read()
main_label.text = contents # main_label is an instance of kivy's Label class.
