# pandas._libs.tslibs.conversion._TSObject should have an attribute __reduce_cython__
# in versions of pandas > 0.20.0 (at least for Python < 3.4)
# so: pip install pandas==0.20.0

# with psychopy 1.90.0 and pyglet 1.3.2 we get an error that the window has no close() attribute
# someone solved this like this:
# pip install psychopy==1.85.3
# pip install pyglet==1.3.0
# this removes the error, but the experiment still doesn't work
