Raspberry Pi ALMOST have psychopy working, here's the latest error

Coding

Ok so I have been messing around with installing it on the raspberry pi for so long, and I finally have the program opening the input dialog box but it crashes when it goes to open fullscreen for t he experiment. I currently had to disable the layout import to get it to work (resolving that issue now, could that be the problem?)
My error code is:

So, right after posting the above, I uninstalled the version of psychopy that was installed with the package manager, installed it using pip and flagged for no dependencies (since I have installed some(most) of them but they cause errors during install)

Now, I actually get the main window to open, but it just stays on the background color and doesn’t do anything. I can’t quit or close the window, but now psychopy opens up a window on raspberry pi - it just freezes. Looking for a way around this.

For anyone interested in how I got this far (in the event you’re starting off at ground 0 with the versions current as of this post) I did:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y ninja-build

python -m pip install h5py
sudo apt install cmake
sudo apt install python3-pyqt5
sudo apt install -y gcc g++ gfortran libopenblas-dev liblapack-dev pkg-config
sudo apt install -y python3-pip python3-dev
sudo apt install -y python3-scipy
pip3 install tables

Now I encountered some kindof issue installing wx python because:
Collecting wxPython>=4.1.1
Downloading wxPython-4.2.0.tar.gz (71.0 MB)
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named ‘attrdict’

pip3 install attrdict

Another WX python install issue, this time:
sudo apt-get -y install python3-wxgtk4.0

Failed to build wxPython opencv-python psychtoolbox

now I just go to the add/remove software and installe verything that has to do with wxpython and psychopy (has version 2020.2.10)

working on openCV, see link: How to install OpenCV on Raspberry Pi
sudo apt-get install libhdf5-dev libhdf5-serial-dev libhdf5-103
sudo apt-get install libqtgui4 libqtwebkit4 libqt4-test python3-pyqt5
sudo apt-get install libatlas-base-dev
sudo apt-get install libjasper-dev

I install everything and remove the import layout and the program almost works, but I get
failed to import GLFW.

Try: sudo apt-get install libglfw3
sudo apt-get install libglfw3-dev

remove package manager installed psychophy

install psychopy using pip and no dependencies

after all o f the above the window will open on the PI but there’s no updates or anything going on inside the window. The dialog boxes work just fine.
