Notes

Do not start your experiments out of IDLE when testing participants

If you are using the IDLE editor that comes with the Python installation, be aware that IDLE itself is written in Python. Starting your Expyriment programme out of IDLE (by clicking on “Run” or by pressing F5), might thus lead to improper timing!

We therefore strongly suggest to run Expyriment programmes from the command line when testing participants.
