Hi, I’m VERY new to this… and with programming in general. This actually is my first trial.
OS Mac OSX 10.11.6 PsychoPy version : 1.90.dev1 Standard Standalone? (y/n) : ? What are you trying to achieve?:
I have followed the instructions from the youtube tutorial "Build your first PsychoPy experiment (Stroop task)"
nb: Python 2.7.14 (v2.7.14:84471935ed, Sep 16 2017, 12:01:12) What did you try to make it work?:
Hit the run button What specifically went wrong when you tried that?:
got the following error message:
OSError: cannot load library /Applications/PsychoPy2.app/Contents/Resources/lib/python2.7/site-packages.zip/_sounddevice_data/libportaudio.dylib: dlopen(/Applications/PsychoPy2.app/Contents/Resources/lib/python2.7/site-packages.zip/_sounddevice_data/libportaudio.dylib, 2): no suitable image found. Did find:
/Applications/PsychoPy2.app/Contents/Resources/lib/python2.7/site-packages.zip/_sounddevice_data/libportaudio.dylib: stat() failed with errno=20
Hi, I’m also totally new to PsychoPy. I know some coding but nothing about loading dylibs. Tried running from both the coder and the builder and got the same exact error message, word for word.
OS Mac OSX 10.13.2
PsychoPy version : 1.90.dev1
Standard Standalone? (y/n) : Yes
@Cochonnet any progress on this? Found this help page for the dlopen function, but I didn’t find anything in there referring to the “no suitable image found”. I noticed the path to the dylib contains a zip file, is this normal? I also looked inside site-packages.zip and found no folder called “_sounddevice_data”, so my best guess is that this is the problem.
Thanks for your response! Yes i have noticed that too but I really don’t know how to fix the problem… The software contains several demos which I believe are somewhat related to the “site-package” file. I have tried to install them, they appear now in the menu, but I have the same error message when I try to run them.
I have the same exact problem. I download everything and follow all installation steps. But when I hit the “Run” button the same error appear to me.
OSError: cannot load library /Applications/PsychoPy2.app/Contents/Resources/lib/python2.7/site-packages.zip/_sounddevice_data/libportaudio.dylib: dlopen(/Applications/PsychoPy2.app/Contents/Resources/lib/python2.7/site-packages.zip/_sounddevice_data/libportaudio.dylib, 2): no suitable image found. Did find:
/Applications/PsychoPy2.app/Contents/Resources/lib/python2.7/site-packages.zip/_sounddevice_data/libportaudio.dylib: stat() failed with errno=20
I noticed too, that “site-packages.zip” folder, and I unzipped it to see files, and folder “_sounddevice_data”, does not exist.
The same problem, same psychopy version, same operative system (OSX - macbook)… I have tried to install from terminal “pip install sounddevice”, but does not work yet!
I also have the same problem(see below psychopy output). I want to run demos but I can’t :(.
Is there anyone who knows how to fix this???

go to preferences for psychopy, and under the General tab find “audio library”. there should be 3 items there: [u’sounddevice’, u’pyo’, u’pygame’, ]. delete “u’sounddevice’ " so that only " u’pyo’, u’pygame’,” are in the brackets. Apply these changes and stroop as well as other tests should work!
