👑 PSYCHOPY(1) — the glow-up guide 💅

okay bestie, welcome to the PsychoPy3 manual, straight from the User Commands section, no cap. it's giving "i make psychology stimuli in Python and i make it look easy." ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

PsychoPy3 — creating psychology stimuli in Python 🧠🦋

⭐ SYNOPSIS ⭐

python PsychoPy.py [options] [file]

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so basically, this starts the PsychoPy3 application. that's the whole vibe. 🫶

if you don't give it any options or files, it starts PsychoPy and lets prefs decide which view(s) to open — like, it just knows, iykyk. but if you do hand it an optional [file], what happens next depends entirely on what kind of [file] you dropped on it:

  • a Python script file.py — opens coder 🐍
  • an experiment design file.psyexp — opens builder 🧪

literally that simple. main character energy fr fr.

✨ OPTIONS ✨

  • -c, --coder, coder — opens coder view only 💻 (yes, all three spellings work, she's flexible)
  • -b, --builder, builder — opens builder view only 🧱
  • -x script.py — executes script.py using StandAlone python 🔥
  • -v, --version — prints the version and then dips out 🚪
  • -h, --help — prints this help and exits, iconic behaviour 👑
  • --firstrun — launches the configuration wizard 🧙✨
  • --no-splash — suppresses the splash screen (for when you simply cannot with the splash screen today) 🙈
heads up bestie: no hidden lore here — everything the app does is up there in DESCRIPTION and these options, so don't go inventing extra flags, periodt. 💀

that's the whole page, and yes, it slayed. 💜 this little beauty lives in the User Commands manual, it's PsychoPy3, version 2023.2.4 (the (... version, as the source line so dramatically puts it), and it was dated February 2024 — so if you're reading this way later, go check for a newer one, k? bye babe, go make some stimuli 🎀🌸💖
