ImportError: cannot import name '_ccallback_c'

Hi, I installed the 1.90.3 standalone version of PsychoPy, but it won’t launch. This is the error log. I got a previous error log about pandas, and installed all the dependencies using pip to resolve it, but I can’t seem to resolve this.

I’ve tried:

  • Deleting appData

I only have Python 3.6 installed - is that fine?

Thank you!

It looks like you have a copy of scipy installed in your “roaming” and ford some reason psychopy is finding that but it isn’t complete. PsychoPy should have it’s own scipy installed and should not be using your external one

Thank you very much! I’ve solved it now by installing Python 2.7 and the 2.7-only standalone of PsychoPy.
