Developers

PsychoPy was initially created and maintained by Jon Peirce but has many contributors to the code:

Jeremy Gray, Sol Simpson, Yaroslav Halchenko, Erik Kastman, Mike MacAskill, William Hogman, Jonas Lindeløv, Ariel Rokem, Dave Britton, Gary Strangman, C Luhmann, Hiroyuki Sogo

You can see details of contributions on Ohloh.net and there’s a visualisation of PsychoPy’s development history on youtube.

PsychoPy also stands on top of a large number of other developers’ work. It wouldn’t be possible to write this package without the preceding work of those that wrote the Dependencies

Support

Software projects aren’t just about code. A great deal of work is done by the community in terms of supporting each other. Jeremy Gray, Mike MacAskill, Jared Roberts and Jonas Lindelov particularly stand out in doing a fantastic job of answering other users’ questions. You can see the most active posters on the users list here: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!aboutgroup/psychopy-users

Funding

The PsychoPy project has attracted small grants from the HEA Psychology Network and Cambridge Research Systems . Thanks to those organisations for their support.

Jon is paid by The University of Nottingham (which allows him to spend time on this) and his grants from the BBSRC and Wellcome Trust have also helped the development PsychoPy.
