NameError: name 'raw_input' is not defined when debugging in PyCharm

Coding

I am new to Psychopy, and I am trying to tinker around to create a stimulus with the psychopy module in Python.
I am in Linux (Ubuntu) and use a virtual environment in PyCharm with a Python 3.8 interpreter.
When I run the code normally, everything works fine however if I put a break point anywhere and run the debugger it throws me this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 25, in <module>
NameError: name 'raw_input' is not defined
python-BaseException

This is the only import statement I have:

from psychopy import visual, core, event

I am not sure how to interpret that, as it seems to me the “” and are placeholders for a real file name?
Has anyone else experience that? Any idea which module/file it might be?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi There - if you click on line 25 does it take you to the specific line where the error is occurring?

Hello,
Thanks for your reply!
Unfortunately no, it is just text with no links in it.

Edit: I did some more testing and when I use the statement
import psychopy
and then use psychopy.visual.Window(...) in the code
I get the error
Traceback (most recent call last): File "/snap/pycharm-community/267/plugins/python-ce/helpers/pydev/pydevd.py", line 1483, in _exec pydev_imports.execfile(file, globals, locals) # execute the script
File "/snap/pycharm-community/267/plugins/python-ce/helpers/pydev/_pydev_imps/_pydev_execfile.py", line 18, in execfile exec(compile(contents+"\n", file, 'exec'), glob, loc)

File "/Path/to/my/script.py", line 15, in __init__ win = psychopy.visual.Window([800, 600], monitor="DLP", units="deg")
AttributeError: module 'psychopy' has no attribute 'visual'
But I can use the debugger fine in that case. I checked the psychopy folder and there is a visual folder, and it still works if I use from psychopy import visual and don’t use the debugger…
