Compile into executable?
bg
possible to fully compile experiments, so that they can be run either
from an executable or from a shortcut that would launch the experiment
automatically (without a research assistant present). These are
characteristics I require, and would rather find this information out
before starting a project in PsychoPy rather than after.
Thanks in advance

discussions of this issue. The short answer is that there are too
many dependencies to be bundled into an executable. However, once
python/psychopy is installed on the machine, the subject would be able
to just click on the experiment file and it will run.

*any* system that allows an individual experiment to be compiled and
sent off to a colleague without them installing software to run it?

as long as the kernel is the same architecture (i.e. x86 vs x86_64)
CDEpackrat
CDEpack is a tool that automatically packages up your Linux programs
so that they can run on other computers with no installation or configuration,
thereby eliminating dependency hell.
CDEpack makes it easy to perform reproducible research, share research
prototypes, run software in non-native environments, deploy applications to the
cloud, and create reproducible bug reports.

probably move
to psychopy (eventually) even though I have some c++ code on which I
have worked
for several years which is nice and flexible.
Having said that, not being able to create a compiled application is a
limitation.
There are three ways in which this is useful for me.
(1) I still have a few powerpc Mac in the lab and I can create
experiments on my
intel Mac and just move the app over. In other words I have target
architectures
instead of having to install the whole package on every experimental
machine. As
far as I can tell this is not an option with psychopy.
(2) I can give students an app for their projects and I can be certain
that they
cannot possibly mess anything up.
(3) I can email an app to colleagues in Italy and they get a small
file that does everything
they need. This works very well for me, sometimes I end up sending
several versions in a day,
as compiling and emailing these small files is quick.
If I am not mistaken even with Matlab it is possible to create
something similar
to an executable (but I may be wrong, this is just from memory, I
don't use Matlab myself).
Of course there may be ways around these problems. I could try to
install psychopy
on the old Macs, although I will probably just wait for them to
retire, I can tell my colleagues
in Italy to install psychopy, and I can trust my students a bit more.
So, don't get me wrong, psychopy is wonderful and I want to say a big
thanks to Jon,
but creating applications does make life easier, at least for me.
Still, just a minor
limitation in an otherwise fantastic package.
all the best, Marco

Hi,
Could you please explain how to make the experiment run just by
clicking on the experiment file?
When I click on the experiment file, both console window and builder
view are opening and
I can run the experiment only by pressing "Run" button
Using the latest standalone version on Windows
Thank you
Anna
