Hello,
I’m new to PsychoPy, and have just installed it on my Linux machine. I’m working through some basic learning materials, and realised that I’m unable to save the .psyexp file. The error report is pasted below.
I am running PsychoPy in an dedicated Conda environment names PsychoTEST. I didn’t use the provided .yml script, but created a new environment and used pip and conda to install the required psychopy ( + dependencies) and wxPython packages. Scripts appear to run in the coder, and I have provided the output of the sysInfo.py demo below also.
Can anyone provide any direction here? Please let me know if you need any further informaiton. I’m going to try and install it fresh on another Conda environment to rule out any installation errors.
Any guidance would be much appreciated.
