[solved] No module named eyelink_drift_correct

adria

Hello,

I am having troubles opening a script which uses eyelink modules. It shows the following whenever I try to open it:

line:88
exception message: No module named eyelink_drift_correct
exception type: ImportError

The problem comes as: I installed the lastest version of Eyelink, Pylink is already included in the package as I checked it, and Pygaze is also installed by default. I am using Opensesamen version 2.9.7 and Windows 7 64x

Hi Adria,

Your experiment uses the EyeLink plug-ins, which have been replaced by the current PyGaze plugins. You can still get the EyeLink plug-ins from here:

• http://osdoc.cogsci.nl/2.8/devices/eyelink/

However, I wouldn't use the EyeLink plug-ins anymore, because they are no longer maintained. So the best strategy is probably to:

1. Install the EyeLink plugins so you can open the experiment.
2. Open the experiment.
3. Replace all eyelink_* items by the corresponding pygaze_* items.
4. Save the experiment.
5. Happiness.

Does that make sense?

Cheers,
Sebastiaan

Hi Sebastiaan,

Sorry for this long response. Firstly, thanks for your help! I changed as you said the plug-in usage, so that I am only working with Pygaze.
However, it is still worth noticing that even the opensesame files that have been "changed" (that is, their scripts copied to a new file using only Pygaze) do not seem to work under certain conditions. I am not sure, but it seems as files that I created in my computer cannot be opened in others, as the same error 88 appears. I am currently bypassing this error by working on other pcs, but it may be worth knowing this.

Best,

A

Hi Adria,

Please note you will also have to permanently delete the all eyelink_* items from the Unused items or you will still get the ImportError.

Best,

Hi Jarik!

Oh, thanks a lot for the tip! I didn't think about that before! Now that explains quite some things...

Best,
