Mouse get_click(): Timout keyword throws error in Python

[mariansauter]

The error references the line in which I try to collect mouseclicks with

button, (click_x, click_y), timestamp = my_mouse.get_click(timeout=3000)

Error

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stimulus_display.run>", line 41, in <module>
TypeError: cannot unpack non-iterable NoneType object

This happens in a python inline script regardless of the selected backend. Collecting clicks works fine without timeout keyword.

Hi Marian,

Could it be that the error is actually in the unpacking you do in (click_x, click_y)? I think the function might be returning None instead of a coordinate upon a timeout. The timeout keyword you added will have made this behaviour obvious, but isn't to blame directly.

I'd recommend changing it to the following:

button, click_pos, timestamp = my_mouse.get_click(timeout=3000)
if click_pos is None:
    click_x = None
    click_y = None
else:
    click_x, click_y = click_pos

Cheers, Edwin

Yes of course. I don't know how I didn't see that. Thanks Edwin.
