  Description     : module for creating psychology stimuli in Python

PsychoPy combines the graphical strengths of OpenGL with the easy
Python syntax to give psychophysics a free and simple stimulus presentation
and control package.

The goal is to provide, for the busy scientist, tools to control
timing and windowing and a simple set of pre-packaged stimuli and methods.

Features
 - Simple, clean syntax (see the demo code)
 - Simple (or complex) GUIs via wxPython
 - Easy interfaces to joysticks, mice, keyboards
 - Easy interface to parallel and serial ports
 - Unicode text rendering in any TrueType font
 - Multi-monitor support (and multiple windows)
 - Plays movies (mpg, DivX, avi, QuickTime...) as stimuli
 - All stimuli rendered in realtime (so can be modified in realtime too)
 - Simple routines for staircase and constant stimuli experimental 
   methods as well as curve-fitting and bootstrapping
 - Integration with CRS Bits++(for 14bit luminance resolution)
 - Integration with Spectrascan PR650 for easy monitor calibration
