Python seems to have crashed on OpenSesame 3.2.1, Windows 10
I've seen this error popping up already in the forum, but I think this is a very specific case with a vanilla install and a clear previously working case (no plugin installed) and a failing subsequent case (after installing any plugin).
Also, it doesn't matter which backend is used.
Reference: Same issue is found on the github repo of the mousetrap plugin.
On a fresh install, copying over the plugin into C:\Progam Files(x86)\OpenSesame\share\opensesame_plugins results in a non-functioning OpenSesame.
Running any experiment (eg. the default.osexp "Hello world" experiment) crashes with the following error message.
Python seems to have crashed. This should not happen. If Python crashes often, please report it on the OpenSesame forum.

It doesn't matter if the plugin is
* just copied over
* installed inside OpenSesame using
import pip
pip.main(['install', 'https://github.com/PascalKieslich/mousetrap-os/archive/master.zip'])
- installed in the command line, using the OpenSesame python.exe
python.exe -m pip install https://github.com/PascalKieslich/mousetrap-os/archive/master.zip
Strange enough, this also happens if the example-plugin is installed

Apparently the python 3 installer seems to make a better job:
Results when running with OpenSesame python 3 version:
examples/mousetrap_form.osexpcrashes after the instructions form text display with both PyGame and expyriment backends:examples/mousetrap_form_python.osexpworks fine through the 4 samples.Thanks for pointing this out. I will look into this. Just to clarify: The installation of the mousetrap plugin and the mousetrap_form example experiment works fine if you use OpenSesame 3.2.1 with Python 2?
Hi guys,
This might also be related to the issue I'm describing here:

Check out SigmundAI.eu for our OpenSesame AI assistant!
Thanks, @sebastiaan , for pointing this out.
The issue in the Python 2 version seems to be covered in the discussion for which you shared the link.
We are currently continuing the discussion regarding the specific problem of the mousetrap plugin with OpenSesame in the Python 3 version on GitHub: https://github.com/PascalKieslich/mousetrap-os/issues/4
Besides, there seems to be a general problem with installing plugins from within using OpenSesame using pip in the Python 3 version which is probably another issue.
Best,
Pascal
Ok, the number of test cases has become a little complicated.
For this reason I created the following test matrix.
Please not that "no plugin installed" means a vanilla installation.
Installing a plugin and removing it again does not count as "no plugin installed", as the behavior stays the same as if a plugin was installed.
Also, only the "installer" versions of OpenSesame were tested. The portable zip was not considered.
+ Works as intended

Thanks for the detailed summary. I have made a few changes in the mousetrap plugin to ensure that the items should now also run with Python 3. This should basically resolve all problems marked with *** in your table. Could you try it out using the latest version on GitHub?
Indeed your changes made the (***) cases work now!
OK, that's good
.
So I guess that the * issue is a general issues in OpenSesame that probably is related to the other discussion in http://forum.cogsci.nl/index.php?p=/discussion/3829/workaround-for-crashes-when-running-experiments-in-opensesame-3-2-windows
Besides, the ** also seems to be another general issue with OpenSesame in Python 3 when using the external runner. I can also replicate this under Windows 7. Maybe you (@Eru_Iluvatar) could open a new forum post for this so @sebastiaan can have a look at it?
@Pascal Yes I will open another issue for **

Oh thanks for creating this topic. Is Phython 2 and 3 working good in Windows 10? Hope it does. Looking for an answer. Go2top.
