When using the standalone from StandalonePsychoPy2_PY3-1.90.1-MacOS.dmg, I get this issue that prevents running any Builder script (under Mac OS High Sierra 10.13.3):

## Running: /Users/michael/Downloads/PsychoPy2 Demos/stroop/stroop_lastrun.py ##

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Dang! You’re right. I’ve had to remove both MacOS dmg files for now while I sort out the packaging issue.

I thought I had fixed in the packaging system, but I guess the fix wasn’t permanent! Hopefully have a fix today

OK, the two Mac downloads are updated and hopefully the soundfile library is now working

Great, works perfectly.

Now just have to figure out why I can no longer run the the app in the developer install from the command line under Anaconda…
