Downloading the mghdb give the following error:
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xe1 in position 1209: ordinal not in range(128)

    import wfdb
    wfdb.dldatabase('mghdb', os.getcwd(), records = 'all', annotators = 'all' , keepsubdirs = True, overwrite = False)

It s look like text isn t just ascii, but latin 1.
