Psychopy: TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for &: 'long' and 'LP_c_void' when using the pyglet backend

Under python 2.7 and psychopy 1.90.0 I get the following error:

This protocol works fine with psychopy 1.85.3.

I'm also having trouble with this issue. My setup is Windows 10 X64, Python 2.7.10 X86, PsychoPy 1.90.0 and Pyglet 1.3.0.

I read source code of pyglet and found that the content of winHandle._dc (=scrBytes) seems to be set in pyglet.window.win32.Win32Window._create(). In this method, return value of _user32.GetDC() is set to _dc. _user32.GetDC() is actually ctypes.windll.user32.GetDC() as defined in pyglet/libs/win32/__init__.py.

Type of the return value of _user32.GetDC() are defined in lines 157 of pyglet/libs/win32/__init__.py as following.

# workaround for win 64-bit, see issue #664
_user32.GetDC.restype = c_void_p # HDC

Changing restype to HDC, PsychoPy can create pyglet window without error.
I think it difficult to fix this issue without editing pyglet codes.

More info: this is under Windows 10 with pyglet 1.3.2.

Thanks for the info. Puzzling because the old code appears to be doing the same but didn't have a type error. I'll do my best to work it out though :-/

Are you sure that this version of pyglet worked with 1.85.3. I'm just wondering whether you might have updated both at the same time (and maybe something changed in pyglet)?

FYI: replacing pyglet 1.3.0 with 1.2.4 seems to fix this issue in my setup. In addition, pyglet 1.3.0 works fine with Windows10 x64, Python 3.6.1 x64 and the latest PsychoPy.

At the beginning, when I installed PsychoPy 1.90.0, pyglet was giving me the following error:

NameError: name 'PUINT' is not defined

I have updated afterwards pyglet, according to what it is reported here. I used the following command line:

pip install --upgrade https://bitbucket.org/pyglet/pyglet/get/tip.zip

Then, it gave the error that I reported in the first instance of this thread. Afterwards, I downgraded my PsychoPy version to 1.85.3 and it solved the problem.

With PsychoPy 1.90.1 / Pyglet 1.4 / Python 2.7 / Windows 7 32 bit I was having the same problem as described by alpinho and hsogo. Downgrading to Pyglet 1.24 solved the issue.

Wasn't this addressed via #1777 and #1787? Could you try again with latest master?

I tried the latest master with following setups. Both work fine now.

  • Windows 10 x64, Python 2.7.10 x86 and Pyglet 1.3.2
  • Windows 10 x64, Python 3.6.1 x64 and Pyglet 1.3.0

Great, thanks! So this seems to be resolved.

Sorry, I noticed that the issue is not fixed in Python 2.7 x86 and Pyglet 1.3.2.
It seems I made a mistake in switching back and forth between Pyglet 1.2.4 and 1.3.2.

Do not downgrade pyglet - it is nice.

The error fixed with patch to pygletbackend.py : 338

338c338
<                 _screenID = 0xFFFFFFFF & scrBytes
---
>                 _screenID = scrBytes

Thanks @sherdim I didn't know that works. But there are other installations where it's needed, so I'll apply that using a try...except and hopefully everything will be happy!
