Bug in user input: slideshow example.

[benhowell]

Hi esdalmaijer,
Although I could only find the "slideshow" example here: http://www.pygaze.org/resources/examples/slideshow.zip

I thought this is probably the best place to report the following bug

constants.py
Line 14: LOGFILENAME = input("Participant name: ")

doesn't work on python 2.6 / 7 (at least, it doesn't do what you intend... simple explanation here: http://cis.poly.edu/cs1114/pyLecturettes/raw_input-input.html

Perhaps the easiest work around here is to replace that line with something like the following (untested!)...

import sys
if sys.version_info < (3, 0):
LOGFILENAME = raw_input("Participant name: ")
else:
LOGFILENAME = input("Participant name: ")

Cheers,
Ben.

Hi Ben,

Thanks a lot for the input! (pun not intended) To be honest, I was expecting users to supply string values (e.g. "subjectname"), but using the raw_input version would actually make more sense. Will implement this!

P.S.: Not sure where the example experiment script went; I'll upload that to the repo as well.

Cheers,
Edwin
