trying to import edf file using mne on linux.

Please check the below code and suggest edit. When I run the same in windows, it works. the package versions are identical.

>>> data  = mne.io.read_raw_edf('eeg1.edf',preload=True)

Extracting EDF parameters from /wsu/home/ha/ha82/ha8276/Desktop/EEG/eeg1.edf...

I figured it out. there were some issues with the edf files I downloaded. Works fine with another batch of files. Thank you are all the help

Can you do a %debug after you get the error and let us know the values of month and the other date-related ones?

This is still the logical next step in debugging, and since none of us can replicate your error, you’ll need to do this yourself @harmeet9307

Since it looks like you’re not using ipython, the equivalent of %debug would be import pdb; pdb.pm() to enter the debugger immediately after the error occurs. from there you should be able to view the values of the variables year, month, etc.
