problem with import from psychopy locale_setup

[Steve Genco]

I just got psychopy to run in the latest Anaconda distribution, 4.0.0. It was a painful process as I had to manually add several of the supporting packages (pyo, wx ...), but I finally got it all working and updated to psychopy 1.83.04. However, now when I try to run an experiment, I get an error on this command in the generated py code:

from psychopy import locale_setup, visual, core, data, event, logging, sound, gui

The output I get is this:

##### Running: C:\<...>\Dropbox\python\PsychoPy\stroop\stroop_lastrun.py #####

pyo version 0.8.0 (uses single precision)

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "C:\<...>\Dropbox\python\PsychoPy\stroop\stroop_lastrun.py", line 11, in <module>

    from psychopy import locale_setup, visual, core, data, event, logging, sound, gui

ImportError: cannot import name locale_setup

If I just delete 'locale_setup' from the import list, the script runs fine. Ironically, I have no need for the module as I am only using the Windows version of PsychoPy.

'locale_setup.py' and 'locale-setup.pyc' appear to be right where they should be, in C:\Anaconda2\Lib\site-packages\psychopy-1.82.01.

Any ideas on how I can fix this, or short of that, just modify my copy of Psychopy to not include locale_setup in the import list?

I uninstalled the Anaconda distribution and reinstalled the PDL Distribution that includes psychopy. The problem disappeared. Please disregard.

What's the PDL distribution? I've not heard of that

Glad your problem got sorted - I'm afraid I don't use anaconda or other such distributions so I can't help with those questions.

cheers
Jon

I don't think this is resolved.  I'm having the same error.  On fresh installs using ubuntu and windows, I get the same import error:

    from psychopy import locale_setup, visual, core, data, event, logging, sound, gui

ImportError: cannot import name locale_setup

I've removed the import to run the experiment, but I have no idea what effect this has on the experiment.

locale_setup.py is definitely included in all the current distributions here:

  https://github.com/psychopy/psychopy/releases

So when you say "fresh install" what method of installing are you using? What version are you installing? For the ubuntu installation I suppose the neurodebian package might not have it included so we could check that.

Removing that import probably won't hurt you; it merely ensures that things like dialog boxes show up in the appropriate language (e.g. Japanese) so if you're already in US/UK English you probably won't notice.

I had this too.

The problem turned out to be because I had a subfolder alongside my psyexp file that was called 'psychopy'

renaming it stopped the locale_setup error :-)

[Hope Wells]

Does anyone know how I can get the experiment to run with an error box appearing saying that it can't run because of a 'locale_setup' problem. Many thanks

[Jonathan Peirce]

Do you have a folder called psychopy next to your experiment (or near it)? Call that folder something else.
