Hi Sebastiaan,
Thank you for OpenSesame,

I have a problem running the "attentional blink" example it crushes .
This is what I get:
The experiment did not finish normally for the following reason:

Error while executing inline script

Since I have already programmed a new experiment based on your example, after convincing my Prof to use OpenSesame' I need your help solving this problem!
Many Thanks

Hi Gily,

It looks like there's a problem with PyGlet, which is the graphics library that is used by PsychoPy. This could well be specific to your system. I would suggest to either:

1. Try another computer; or
2. Select another back-end (you can do this in the General Properties tab).

Cheers!

Any thoughts on this error generated in 3.0.7b1 (Ubuntu) on experiment working before upgrade?

Python 2.7.6

* Type "help()", "copyright()", "credits()" or "license()" for more information.
* Type "print(modules())" for details about installed modules and version information.
* Use the "print([msg])" function in inline_script items to print to this debug window.
* Inspect inline_script variables when an experiment is finished.

Hi,

The error results from re-opening the log file using codecs.open() which creates a StreamReaderWriter object, where OpenSesame 3 expects a special log object. For more information, please see this post:

Cheers!
