Problems with Big Sur running PsychoPy v1.90.2

1.90.1 is definitely incompatible with Big Sur. To make it run requires several changes within the psychopy app:

  1. Updating to a new version of pyglet within the application
  2. Updating the code of PsychoPy libs to make sure they avoid using the pyOpenGL lib (which has not been fixed for Big Sur). In the 2020.1 release that meant alterations to TextBox2 and TextBox but I can’t tell you where else the issues will crop up in the 1.90 release and I’m afraid I’m not willing to go back and debug that.

If you’re expecting your participants to do this on their own machines I think that will bring its own headaches. I think you’d be better off upgrading your script to work with the new version of PsychoPy rather than trying to back-port recent fixes to outdated PsychoPy.

I see you’ve asked the specific question about audioLib elsewhere so I’ll answer that there
