BeautifulSoup with "xml" gets ofx file ("The ofx file is empty!") about ofxparse HOT 2 CLOSED

I ran into a similar issue. Had the same result (empty OFX file) and same solution (use lxml parser). I think I could probably also fix by downgrading to BeautifulSoup 3, but haven't tried that.

In my case, my OFX files don't have a top-level <OFX> tag containing the contents, but rather start right into <SIGNONMSGSRSV1> after the headers. There actually is an <OFX> tag, but it's the very last thing in the file.

If it would be helpful, I can sanitize an example file and pass along.

BTW, thanks so much for this library! I'm especially happy that you've updated it to handle all the data members I need (in particular, the total amount of investment transactions.) Funny that this was just updated, and I just decided to finally fix that in my accounting scripts. Sorry for the non-sequitur, just wanted to express my gratitude for this project.

EDIT: Sorry, I didn't read the original post very carefully. html.parser seems to work for me as well.
