Hi All, hoping for some help debugging. The brief is that I want to get psychopy working with an eyelink1000, which only functions with python 3.4 or 2.7. So, I’m trying to set up iohub with an older version of psychopy and am running into an odd problem with the import. I have the same bug for psychopy v2020.1 and v3.2.4, shown below. The best I can describe it is that after importing iohub specifically (not just psychopy generally) I get the same message for every possible error, even if it is not a psychopy error (see the a+b test case where b is not defined). this is just after doing an import, nothing further than that. I found the documentation for what this error is thrown by in future, so I suspect it has something to do with the way iohub imports future, but I’m stumped on how to fix it. I’m using windows and the newest version of anaconda, with a pip install of psychopy (older versions). I also have tried multiple versions of pyglet, re this topic. can provide more information if it’s relevant. my pylink works fine, and I have all the stuff from the SR Research website, so it’s just iohub that I’m running into problems with. thanks for any help !!
