Getting the Python code behind a Open Sesame plugin

  Hi Amir,

  I think what you describe is implemented in PsychoPy. There you can graphically design your experiment and the python code accompanying it, is produced on the fly.
  However, as far as know, this is not possible in Opensesame. If you really want it to be implemented, you can put it on the wishlist and maybe it will be added in a future version.

  Hi Eduard,
  Thanks for your answer!

  Hm.. I think I was to vague. I mean something simpler I think.

  Let's say I have a plugin with the following Opensesame script:

      widget 0 0 1 1 text_input var='response' return_accepts='yes'
  

  I was under the impression that Open Sesame runs python in the background. I other words, is there a way to get the following code from the script above?

      from libopensesame import widgets
      form = widgets.form(exp)
      text_input = widgets.text_input(form, var='response',
              return_accepts=True)
      form.set_widget(text_input, (0,0))
      form._exec()
  

  Kind regards from Switzerland

  Hey,

  Maybe that is a little more feasible, but the current answer stays the same: Not possible at the time. But I encourage you, to put it on the wishlist, or even make a feature request on github. It could be a useful addition to Opensesame.
