Error while fetching anime info.

[nins-k]

Started getting this error while retrieving info on any anime about a week ago.

AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'parent' 
(file "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/myanimelist/media.py", line 193, in parse)

I had no idea what to do so I tried commenting out the following lines (193-195) which restored partial functionality.

synopsis_elt = media_page.find(u'h2', text=u'Synopsis').parent
utilities.extract_tags(synopsis_elt.find_all(u'h2'))
media_info[u'synopsis'] = synopsis_elt.text.strip()

This let me fetch an anime's title, rank, score, episodes but keeps returning NoneType for every call to anime.related

The complete nosetests results are in this gist.

This API is really awesome so hoping it'll be fixed.
Thanks!

I got that error too. I will try look in that problem.
EDIT: I found out, that newest HTML update caused this library to crash. I will try fix it.

Thanks, that would be great!

Well I made temporary fix... because I couldn't make it find 'Synopsis' with BS4...

    # Lame Fix
    synopsis_elt = media_page.find_all(u'h2')

    for item in synopsis_elt:
      if 'Synopsis' in item.text:
        synopsis_elt = item.parent

    utilities.extract_tags(synopsis_elt.find_all(u'h2'))

    for item in synopsis_elt(["script", "style"]):
      item.extract()

    media_info[u'synopsis'] = synopsis_elt.text.strip()

Sorry I've been unreachable; I'll take a look at this this weekend, since it looks like there's some changes that need to be made to pass all the tests.

Oh, that's great :)
In the meantime, thanks for your temporary fix @martiogalalt.

if anyone want to find the repo with working fix, there are my repo and @pushrbx, which are still actively updated. If you are looking for python 3 only package (as in #10) try the fork from @pushrbx, because his fork only support that.
