Special char breaks parsing ? about ofxparse HOT 6 CLOSED

Hi Marwan, that is a new bug, probably as a result of recent changes to
support Python 3. I see you're running Python 3, that's great!

If you want to try a quick fix just to get your file parsed, try changing
that line to something like:

head_data = head_data[:head_data.find('<')]

... my guess is that we were too zealous with using the bytes type
everywhere. At any rate, let me know if that helps and I'll try to code up
a test and a fix on the weekend.

Hi,

I use OFX format to deal with financial data. I've found this librariry
to automate parsing (so this my first use of this package).

I try

import os>>> from ofxparse import OfxParser>>> file = open(os.path.expanduser('~/20131107.ofx'))>>> ofx = OfxParser.parse(file)

but I have this traceback

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in
File "/usr/lib/python3.3/site-packages/ofxparse/ofxparse.py", line 330, in parse
ofx_file = OfxPreprocessedFile(file_handle)
File "/usr/lib/python3.3/site-packages/ofxparse/ofxparse.py", line 141, in init
super(OfxPreprocessedFile,self).init(fh)
File "/usr/lib/python3.3/site-packages/ofxparse/ofxparse.py", line 71, in init
self.read_headers()
File "/usr/lib/python3.3/site-packages/ofxparse/ofxparse.py", line 77, in read_headers
head_data = head_data[:head_data.find(six.b('<'))]TypeError: Can't convert 'bytes' object to str implicitl

Is anybody ever had this bug ?

Hi,

Thanks for update.

As far as I should use an ofx parser compliant with the lastest stable python version, I will use this package.

I'll make a pull request to fix this (probably in the next 6 hours).

I tried this proposed fix and I get a different error:

Hi, I'm just trying to bump this issue.

The little example from the README works great in python2 but I'm still seeing this error running python3 (3.5.1). The proposed solution (changing the line(s) to simple strings) works but is not really a fix.

The problem is six.b returning a latin encoded byte string instead of a regular string for python3 (there is a PY3 check) that causes the error.

Just a side note, opening the input file in binary mode (rb) fixes the problem. This should probably be mentioned as a requirement in the README.

I updated README to open the file in binary mode. Thank you for reporting this.
