Version 0.95 was (also) released in July 2008. This release created the first (Intel) Mac application of PsychoPy - no more installing libraries. It's now a standard app, with batteries included.
Version 0.94 was released in July 2008. Many improvements - now handles multiple monitors (any platform), better text rendering, better sound performance. Using pyglet instead of pygame.
You can now read the peer-reviewed publication about PsychoPy. If you use PsychoPy for your work please cite the article.

PsychoPy is an open-source package for creating psychology stimuli in Python (A real and free alternative to Matlab). 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 (including me!), tools to control timing and windowing and a simple set of pre-packaged stimuli and methods. The code is platform independent, using Python and C libraries that are widely available.
I also hope to provide some template files for people to setup basic experiment paradigms (method of constant stimuli, method of adjustment, masking paradigms etc...) with minimal possible fuss. Maybe I'll even write some introduction to Python tutorials to ease people in.
