PsychoPy 1.00.02

PsychoPy will combine the easy Python syntax with the graphical strengths of OpenGL to give psychophysics a free and simple stimulus presentation and control package.
The goal is to provide, for the busy scientist (including me!), tools to control timing and windowing and a simple set of pre-packaged stimuli and methods. The code is platform independent, using Python and C libraries that are widely available.

Main features:
- Platform independent (tested on OS X and Windows)
- Simple syntax (see the demo code)
- Freeware (and based on totally free libraries)
- Uses hardware-accelerated graphics (OpenGL)
- Integration with CRS Bits++(for 14bit luminance resolution)
- Integration with Spectrascan PR650 for easy monitor calibration
- Simple routines for staircase and constant stimuli experimental methods as well as curve-fitting and bootstrapping (these are not the only things you can do - they are just the ones that Ive included so far within the package)
- Simple (or complex) GUIs via wxPython
- Easy interfaces to joysticks, mice, keyboards
- Easy interface to parallel and serial ports
- Unicode text rendering in any TrueType font
- Multi-monitor support
- Plays movies (mpg, DivX, avi, QuickTime...) as stimuli
