Exercize 1 not working

[VRscience]

Hi,

i am trying to start exercize number 1, but when i run it returns me this error:

File "C:\Users\RoY\Desktop\VRscience\bci_workshop-master\mules.py", line 93, in sendcommand self.client.send(command)

TypeError: a bytes-like object is required, not 'str'

I am not a coder, i have just started learning.

edit: I fixed it by adding a b in the line: self.client.send(b'command')

Now i get this message:

Attempting connection Connection successful Header request

But no windows showing signal pop up

Thanks in advance for the help.

Cheers,

V.

Hi, which version of Python are you using? It should be Python 2.x

[VRscience]

Hi, thanks for replying! I have installed Anaconda (Win 64bit) as suggested.I had python 3.6(32bit) already installed, could this matter?

Exactly, that is the issue, the socket module is different from Python2 to Python3. I just pushed a newer version that is compatible with Python2 and 3. Try that one.

Thanks a lot! It worked out! Could you explain me how you did it? Is it something a newbie like me could easily understand? I would like to learn how to fix this issue so i can also do it by myself.

Thanks again!

The changes were made in the file mules.py. There are two main changes: (1) the syntax in the print function, and the input type for the functions from the module socket. You can see the changes in detail in the respective commit
