Hello,
I am running psychopy 2021.2.3 in a conda environment on a MacBook Pro (intel chip i7) with Big Sur. When I run the following
from psychopy import gui
dlg = gui.DlgFromDict({'One Item': False, 'Two Items': True})
it just hangs, and no dialog box appears.
The solution suggested here gui.DlgFromDict never returns does not work for me. I installed pyqt 5.12.3 in the environment but I get the same error.
If anyone could help, I would very much appreciate it.
Sarah
Hi Sarah, sorry to hear this! does that code run in the code window of psychopy standalone? (it ran for me from standalone on w windows) - this might help pin down if the issue is with the pyton environment or the system.
Thanks,
Becca
Hi Becca,
Thanks for your help. I ran the code in standalone PsychoPy 2021.2.3 and it worked properly. So it does appear the be the conda environment. I set up the environment using the psychopy environment file (Installation — PsychoPy v2021.2) and later ran pip install PyQt5 hoping it would fix this issue. Below is a list of packages installed in my conda environment, but I’m not sure how to get a similar list for the standalone PsychoPy to compare.

I still have not managed to solve this problem. If anyone has any advice I would greatly appreciate it.
Hi Sarah,
If it ran from PsychoPy standalone is there a specific reason to use the conda environment instead of launching the study from PsychoPy coder ?
Thanks!
Becca
Hi Becca,
Thanks for your reply!
Yes, two reasons:
I’m open to other solutions that don’t involve a conda environment. I read this article (一、psychopy简介 - 知乎) on using PyCharm with the standalone PsychoPy installation, which would at least address 1 (but not 2?), but the article is for Windows and I was unable to reproduce a similar result for Mac OS.
I should mention that my projects are working fine on Windows machines with this setup, I only seem to encounter this on my macbook.
Sarah
This seems to have been solved by running:
> conda install python.app
From Running PsychoPy using Anaconda/Mac where this solution was proposed for a different problem, which i also had but didn’t care about. But I wondered if it would also solve my problem and it did.
