OpenElectrophy is quite old now:

• few compatibility for python 3
• PyQT4 only
• neo 0.4.x only (schema have change since 0.5)

For theses reasons, OpenElectrophy will have maintenance for some year but won't have any improvement.

If you are a new user you should not go with it. Having a big storage in a database is not a good idea today as datasets get too big.

All interesting part of OpenElectrophy have been ported to other projects:

• For reading/manipulating electrohysiological dataset use neo but with newer version
• For spike sorting use tridesclous
• If you need viewers, ephyviewer
