I noticed that the default python distribution on the Martinos system was using MNE 0.8. Switched to the anaconda distribution which was using MNE 0.9. After working through some bugs related to the version change, I no longer get the error I reported before. Sorry for wasting your time! Emily ---

No problem, glad it's working. FYI the latest version is actually 0.10, so feel free to upgrade to that if you want, too. Eric ---

Hi Emily,    Thanks for bringing this to our attention...Anaconda is indeed the recommended distribution at the center and will likely be the only one available in the near future.. We are phasing out the others. Please join the Martinos Python mailing list (if not already subscribing) to get any updates on that front: [https://mail.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/mailman/listinfo/martinos-python](https://mail.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/mailman/listinfo/martinos-python) Info about the current anaconda version is here (from mailing list archive): [https://mail.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/pipermail//martinos-python/2015-September/000048.html](https://mail.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/pipermail//martinos-python/2015-September/000048.html) Hari Hari Bharadwaj Research Fellow, Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging, Massachusetts General Hospital Charlestown, MA 02129 hari at nmr.mgh.harvard.edu [www.haribharadwaj.com](http://www.haribharadwaj.com) Ph: 734-883-5954 ---

Hi Hari, Maybe it would be a good idea to update the website. I was using the wrong python because of this page: [http://martinos.org/mne/stable/advanced\_setup.html](http://martinos.org/mne/stable/advanced_setup.html) That page could also point Martinos users to the mailing list. Not sure who would be able to make the change, but it would be helpful for new users. Emily ---
