Hey @jo460464 , thanks for reporting this. I think this might have already been addressed here: See: https://github.com/NeuralEnsemble/elephant/pull/636

Try installing the latest development version of elephant with:

pip install git+ssh://git@github.com/NeuralEnsemble/elephant.git@main

I am already at the most recent I think, is there a newer version than 1.1.0

[jo460464]

I mean I see that #636 describes my bug, but in my installation at least it is still present

But in the problem seems to be local, thanks Moritz
