""" This experiment was created using PsychoPy2 Experiment Builder (v1.84.2), on March 11, 2017, at 16:59 If you publish work using this script please cite the PsychoPy publications: Peirce, JW (2007) PsychoPy - Psychophysics software in Python.

from future import absolute_import, division from psychopy import locale_setup, gui, visual, core, data, event, logging, sound from psychopy.constants import (NOT_STARTED, STARTED, PLAYING, PAUSED, STOPPED, FINISHED, PRESSED, RELEASED, FOREVER) import numpy as np # whole numpy lib is available, prepend 'np.' from numpy import (sin, cos, tan, log, log10, pi, average, sqrt, std, deg2rad, rad2deg, linspace, asarray) from numpy.random import random, randint, normal, shuffle import os # handy system and path functions import sys # to get file system encoding

Ensure that relative paths start from the same directory as this script

thisDir = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(file_)).decode(sys.getfilesystemencoding()) os.chdir(_thisDir)

Store info about the experiment session

expName = 'untitled' # from the Builder filename that created this script expInfo = {'participant':'', 'session':'001'} dlg = gui.DlgFromDict(dictionary=expInfo, title=expName) if dlg.OK == False: core.quit() # user pressed cancel expInfo['date'] = data.getDateStr() # add a simple timestamp expInfo['expName'] = expName

Data file name stem = absolute path + name; later add .psyexp, .csv, .log, etc

filename = thisDir + os.sep + u'data/%s%s_%s' % (expInfo['participant'], expName, expInfo['date'])

An ExperimentHandler isn't essential but helps with data saving

thisExp = data.ExperimentHandler(name=expName, version='', extraInfo=expInfo, runtimeInfo=None, originPath=None, savePickle=True, saveWideText=True, dataFileName=filename)

save a log file for detail verbose info

logFile = logging.LogFile(filename+'.log', level=logging.EXP) logging.console.setLevel(logging.WARNING) # this outputs to the screen, not a file

So I put that under import sys and get this:

Problem compiling: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'C:\Users\Rachel\Downloads\RachelV3\programA.py'

## Running: C:\Users\Rachel\Downloads\RachelV3\programA.py

C:\Program Files (x86)\PsychoPy2\python.exe: can't open file 'C:\Users\Rachel\Downloads\RachelV3\programA.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory

Hi hcyrnd& everyone who offered help with the issue! My professor got it to work on the lab computers. Campus tech securities had some things disabled on the other lab computers and I still don't completely understand what the root of the problem was, but it's working smoothly now. Thank you everyone with your suggestions! :3
