OS (linux Ubuntu 16.04)  
PsychoPy version (3.0.7)

I’m trying to install psychopy on linux, and i did it, but it came in 1.8 version. Now i’m trying to install the psychopy 3 (for exploring pavlovia tool).

commands used. This commands are from [https://www.psychopy.org/installation.html#](https://www.psychopy.org/installation.html#) in Anaconda and Miniconda section:

* * *

conda create -n psypy3 python=3.5

source activate psypy3

conda install -c anaconda requests #this command is for preventing an error

pip install PyPubSub #this command is for preventing an error

conda install numpy scipy matplotlib pandas pyopengl pillow lxml openpyxl xlrd configobj pyyaml gevent greenlet msgpack-python psutil pytables cffi seaborn wxpython cython future pyzmq pyserial

conda install -c conda-forge pyglet pysoundfile python-bidi moviepy pyosf

pip install zmq json-tricks pyparallel sounddevice pygame pysoundcard psychopy\_ext psychopy

* * *

after all this commands i type psychopy for opening psychopy GUI (Builder), and get this StackTrace:
