Best way to go is to create a python 2.7 environment that can coexist with other python 3 environments:
conda create -n psychopyenv python=2.7
and then install psychopy through Erik’s or CogSci’s channel
conda install -c erik psychopy
or
conda install -c cogsci psychopy
at the time of writing this would install versions 1.80 (Erik) and 1.85 (cogsci), so the latter is preferred. If you would like to install directly from github the latest version, then install with
While inside the psychopy (v3.0) environment, i select spyder (4.0.1, python 3.6):
(psychopy) C:\Users\currentUser>spyder
I get the following warning (?)
Attribute Qt::AA_UseSoftwareOpenGL must be set before QCoreApplication is created.
I’d like to ask what is the meaning of the above line, and how it might affect any trial to work with spyder.
I don’t know if it’s important detail, but i updated spyder inside the new psychopy environment and then launched it from the navigator. Spyder opens, but since i’m quite new to programming, i might not do something correct?
