Not implemented error

Coding
1

I am getting a “not implemented error” for configs=self.get_matching_configs(template) when trying to get Psychopy version 1.84 going on my Windows 7 machine. Any suggestions?

I think the fix is that you can replace super(etc.) with super() when going from python 2 to python 3.

3

And that actually did not fix it.

Paste in the whole error message to give us a chance, and brief snippets of any relevant code. Nobodya can help with your current level of detail.

Hi Jon,

Thank you for the reply.

I think the problem is at _get_pixel_format_descriptor_matching_configs(self, canvas):, which gets matching configs using the PIXELFORMATDESCRIPTOR technique.

I can comment pf and return [] at the end of the
_get_pixel_format_descriptor_matching_configs def, but I think that bypasses the problem, and leads to the error that I showed you yesterday.

The problem is that I can not find the PIXELFORMATDESCRIPTOR info. I can set up a PIXELFORMATDESCRIPTOR structure, but byrefs expects a ctype instance. Converting a structure to a ctype is complicated, so I am lost.

The error message is below (1), and the relevant code is below that (2).

Thank you for your help,

Nathan

From the filenames it looks like you’re using an incompatible python installation (64bit python 3.5?). We can’t support that I’m afraid. Install the Standalone app instead please
