==Installation==

==Upgrade from 2.7 to 3.7==
 +
Since Python version 2.7 has reached end of life since January first 2020, this version is no longer installed on our [[System Image]]. Standard is now: Python 3.7 64-bits.
 +
If you still have scripts written in Python2, the scripts should be upgraded to Python 3. Most changes are probably the print statements. Print statements should always have parentheses: print('some text')
 +
Key differences between Python 2 and Python 3 are here: https://sebastianraschka.com/Articles/2014_python_2_3_key_diff.html
   −
===Windows (32 bit)===
+
For our previous documentation for Python 2.7, see [[Python/Legacy]]
# Download the [https://www.python.org/downloads/ Win32 installer]
  −
# Double-click on the executable and follow the steps on your screen.

==Psychopy==
=== Windows Environment Variables ===
+
{{see also|Psychopy}}
<pre>Computer --> Properties --> Advanced settings --> Environment Variables.</pre>
+
Psychopy 2020.2.10 has been installed in the root of the Python3.7 64-bit version. This is also the default version when 'psychopy' is typed from the command prompt. It is also the default that opens when a .py file is double-clicked. It also can be started by clicking the appropriate icon on the desktop.
 
+
There is also a Psychopy 2020.2.10 installed on Python3.6 32-bits. This version has its own icon on the desktop and should be used when you are using a [[Tobii Eye Tracker]].

Add the following Path:
   
   
 
   
<pre>C:\Python27;C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\;C:\Python27\Scripts\;</pre>
+
When your script fails to load in Psychopy, because you need packages that are not installed on our lab computers, please contact TSG.

===Package Management===
  −
After Python is installed, you can use [[wikipedia:Pip_(package_manager)|pip]] to install your required packages. pip is included with Python 2.7.9. For older versions, use the following steps to install:
  −
 
  −
# Download [https://raw.github.com/pypa/pip/master/contrib/get-pip.py get-pip.py]
  −
# Execute get-pip by entering the following command: <code style="background-color:#000; color:#fff; padding:1px 3px;">python get-pip.py</code>
  −
 
  −
To install a package, simply execute the following command: <code style="background-color:#000; color:#fff; padding:1px 3px;">c:\pip install PACKAGE_NAME</code><br/>
  −
Replace PACKAGE_NAME with the name of the package of choice.
  −
 
  −
'''Note:''' By default, packages are installed in the following folder (Windows):
  −
<pre>C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages</pre>
  −
This location may differ if you have installed Python somewhere else.
