MNE-python

Hello MNE users,

I am trying to go through the MNE_python tutorial, and I already been
stopped at a very early stage

When launching 'import mne'

I already got an error message indicating

File "mne/__ini__.py", line 3

From .cov import read_cov, write_cov, write_cov, Covariance, \

SyntaxError: invalid syntax

As external users from the Martinos Centre I downloaded the MNE-python on
this link

http://github.com/mne-tools/mne-python/archives/master

and I am running python version 2.4.2, ipython 0.8.2

Could it be link to our python version which is too low?

In the requirement I read python >=2.5

I was also wondering whether the MNE-python file is updated to the last
version, and if all the modules can be downloaded for external users?

Any help will be much appreciated

Hi Elisabeth,

As external users from the Martinos Centre I downloaded the MNE-python on
this link

http://github.com/mne-tools/mne-python/archives/master

and I am running python version 2.4.2, ipython 0.8.2

yes you need a more recent version of Python.

In the requirement I read python >=2.5

indeed.

I was also wondering whether the MNE-python file is updated to the last
version, and if all the modules can be downloaded for external users?

the MNE-python is updated almost on a daily basis and is fully public.

Any help will be much appreciated

I suggest you install EPD:

to have an up to date python environment.

Cheers,
Alex
