[open] Replacement function for numpy.opentxt in Droid backend/Android environment?

  Okay - I've done a little googling and checked around, and this is what I came up with - problem is, while it should work (as far as I can tell), it still doesn't. The first bit is still the same; I've changed after I globally define my variables to read as thus:

  instructionslist = [line.rstrip('\n') for line in path_instructionslist]
  instructionspicslist = [line.rstrip('\n') for line in path_instructionspicslist]
  

  and so on and so forth. I've checked my code in PyCharm; when I run

  path_instructionssoundslist = open('bmsaa_kids_instructions_sounds.txt', 'r')
  instructionssoundslist = [line.rstrip('\n') for line in path_instructionssoundslist]
  print type(instructionssoundslist)
  print instructionssoundslist
  for line in instructionssoundslist:
      print line
  

  I get what I'm expecting; my output looks like this:

  <type 'list'>
  ['silence', 'silence', 'silence', 'silence', 'silence', 'silence', 'silence', 'silence', 'silence', 'music_alone', 'silence', 'click_alone', 'practice_synchronous01', 'silence', 'silence', 'silence', 'silence', 'silence', 'silence', 'silence', 'silence']
  silence
  silence
  silence
  silence
  silence
  silence
  silence
  silence
  silence
  music_alone
  silence
  click_alone
  practice_synchronous01
  silence
  silence
  silence
  silence
  silence
  silence
  silence
  silence
  

  So far so good - no extra whitespace at the end, the variable type IS list, and it seems to be doing what I ask - those are the values in the text file.

  The inline_script at the beginning of the first instructions loop/sequence is such:

  instructionslist = list(instructionslist)
  instructionspicslist = list(instructionspicslist)
  instructionssoundslist = list(instructionssoundslist)
  
  instructions_text = instructionslist.pop(0)
  instructions_pic = instructionspicslist.pop(0)
  instructions_sound = instructionssoundslist.pop(0)
  
  exp.set("instructions_text", instructions_text)
  exp.set("instructions_pic", instructions_pic)
  exp.set("instructions_sound", instructions_sound)
  

  I can probably take out the first three lines, as they're redundant by this point, right? That's not the main question though.

  The text and pictures on the canvas item in the sequence are dictated by [instructions_pic] and [instructions_text], and the sound in the sampler is dictated by [instructions_sound].

  Relevant sampler script:

  set sample "[instructions_sound].wav"
  

  Now when I attempt to quick-run my experiment, though, I get the following traceback:

  >>> 
  Starting experiment as ExperimentProcess-33
  openexp.sampler._legacy.init_sound(): sampling freq = 44100, buffer size = 1024
  openexp.sampler._legacy.init_sound(): mixer already initialized, closing
  experiment.init_log(): using 'D:/HDD Documents/2014-2015/BMSAA\quickrun.csv' as logfile (utf-8)
  experiment.run(): experiment started at Fri Jun 19 19:40:04 2015
  
  Failed to load sample in sampler "instructionssounds": 
  openexp._sampler.legacy.__init__() the file 'D.wav' does not exist
  
  
  >>> 
  

  I cannot figure out for the life of me where it's getting "D" as the value of instructions_sound. Adding a line to PyCharm asking it to return the first item in the instructionssoundslist list gives me 'silence' (what I'd expect), but that's apparently NOT what OpenSesame is returning. I'm at my wits' end right now - according to PyCharm, my code SHOULD work. According to OpenSesame, it doesn't. Any ideas on what to tweak would be greatly appreciated!

  Hey,

  This sounds odd. Have you tried to use your other two variables (text and image) in a similar way, i.e. in a sketchpad? If it works for them, it could be a problem of the sampleritem. I couldn't try it myself, because I don't have the wav-files, but displaying the words in that way seems to work. If you could share your audio files, I can try it again and see whether I can reproduce this error.

  I can probably take out the first three lines, as they're redundant by this point, right?

  Yes, I think so.

  Thanks,

  Eduard

  I didn't fully read this discussion (so this is a bit of a hunch), but this comment struck me, and I think something like the following is going on.

  • You have a path, for example: D:/HDD Documents/2014-2015/BMSAA
  • You cast this to a list, so you get a list of separate characters, the first of which is D.
  • You pop() the first character (i.e. D) from this list, and set that as the variable instructions_sound.

  Could it be something like this?
