PsychoPy is an open source software package, written in Python programming language, for the generation of experiments for neuroscience and experimental psychology.[1][2]

Unlike most packages it provides users with a choice of interface; generate experiments by writing Python scripts or through a graphical interface which will generate a script for them (or by a combination of the two).

Its platform independence is achieved through the use of the wxPython widget library for the application and OpenGL for graphics calls.
