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')

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.

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 or greater'''. 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.
