[Neurodebian-devel] python-expyriment uploaded to mentors.debian.net

[Oliver Lindemann]

Dear Yaroslav,

you proposed that Experyment should also run under xvfb.  I am not sure
that I understood correctly, why you want that. What kind of application
do you have in mind?

If I run, for instance,  Expyriment on remote machine, I switch merely
switch of opengl (expyriment.control.defaults.open_gl = False ). You can
also run testsuite without OGL using  the command line interface:
   
    python -m expyriment.cli -gT

Of course, we should automatize that under xvfb. But I think that
doesn't help you, right?

Oliver
