Any idea how do I solve this?

This is an issue with Python 3.8 compatibility. For now you can downgrade to Python 3.7. Alternatively, this has been fixed in the master branch of Nengo (3.1.0), and so you could clone and install that repo. This fix will also be released very soon (after which you could pip install the newest version of Nengo).

Thanks. Downgrading did not work for me earlier for windows os with conda terminal. I shall try with re-installing from master branch.

I am facing this issue. The GUI asks for refresh and then password/token.

Do you have another webservice running at port 8080? If you do, it can potentially interfere with NengoGUI’s operation. Can you try something this?

Start NengoGUI with the following command line:
nengo --no-browser --port 12121
The command above will start NengoGUI without opening a web browser window, and will prompt you with a link to go to.
E.g., http://localhost:12121/?token=b3c0165bb5325c64a847845a528c863ed41fb7f8ab1b936b
Copy the link that NengoGUI provides you in the console into your web browser and see if that works.

No I didn’t open any web server at that port. Okay I shall try to do that and get back if issue is still there. Thanks.
