README.md

The enclosed .sln file is to be opened and built with Visual Studio 2019 (tested with version 16.4.1).

Dependencies

First some dependencies must be installed.

setup:

git clone https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg.git

cd vcpkg
.\bootstrap-vcpkg.bat
.\vcpkg integrate install

for the Python wrapper, first install the PsychoPy version you want to work with. The below is for PsychoPy version 3.2.4, 64bit, Python 3.6.6. Furthermore using vcpkg commit 7a14422290e7583c68ee290f7dbb5d61872a7a99. If your version of PsychoPy uses a different Python version, is installed in a different location, or the vcpkg port cmake file has changed, you may need to adapt the below accordingly.

  1. Determine the location of PsychoPy. For me it is: C:/Program Files/PsychoPy3 (note the forward slashes)

  2. In your vcpkg directory, you need to edit some files.

    a. At <vcpkg root>\ports\boost-python, open the file CONTROL. Remove , python3 from the Build-Depends: line. Save.

    b. At <vcpkg root>\ports\boost-python, open the file portfile.cmake. Apply the following patch

     )

 # Find Python. Can't use find_package here, but we already know where everything is
-file(GLOB PYTHON_INCLUDE_PATH "${CURRENT_INSTALLED_DIR}/include/python[0-9.]*")
-set(PYTHONLIBS_RELEASE "${CURRENT_INSTALLED_DIR}/lib")
-set(PYTHONLIBS_DEBUG "${CURRENT_INSTALLED_DIR}/debug/lib")
-string(REGEX REPLACE ".*python([0-9\.]+)$" "\\1" PYTHON_VERSION "${PYTHON_INCLUDE_PATH}")
+set(PYTHON_INCLUDE_PATH "C:/Program Files/PsychoPy3/include")^M
+set(PYTHONLIBS_RELEASE "C:/Program Files/PsychoPy3/Libs")^M
+set(PYTHONLIBS_DEBUG "C:/Program Files/PsychoPy3/Libs")^M
+set(PYTHON_VERSION "3.6")^M
 include(${CURRENT_INSTALLED_DIR}/share/boost-build/boost-modular-build.cmake)
 boost_modular_build(SOURCE_PATH ${SOURCE_PATH})
 include(${CURRENT_INSTALLED_DIR}/share/boost-vcpkg-helpers/boost-modular-headers.cmake)

    Save the file and close it.

  3. Now you are ready to install boost-python, issue: vcpkg install boost-python:x64-windows

Environment variables

Furthermore, some environment variables must be set. Here are the values i used:

  • MATLAB_ROOT: C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2019b
  • MATLAB32_ROOT: C:\Program Files (x86)\MATLAB\R2015b
  • PYTHON_ROOT: C:\Program Files\PsychoPy3

set up python environment for Visual Studio Python integration

Last, visual studio needs to be able to find your PsychoPy's Python environment. To do so, add a new Python environment, choose existing environment, and point it to the root of your PsychoPy install, in my case, C:\Program Files\PsychoPy3.
