Quote of the Day getting exception about wikiquote HOT 5 CLOSED

Could you share the exact exception message you got? Also, were you using the English or French version?

from wikiquote.

I'm not getting one today, but it looked like if the quote of the day didn't have an author then the function would raise an exception when you would try accessing raw_data[1]. It was line 158 that raised it yesterday in the english version. It works today and I'm not sure how often it'll come up.

From what I'm seeing, all recent quotes have had an author attributed (https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Wikiquote:Quote_of_the_day/March_2016), it may have been something like the page's HTML layout changing for one day (though this is unlikely). If you can, next time you get the exception try entering https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Main_Page and saving the entire page's HTML to a file, so that I can have a look.

No problem. Sorry I forgot to write it down, I'm kinda new to the whole using github thing. Thanks for making this btw! I'm using it to teach a class for high schoolers and its a great interface.
