README file() example fails in py3

joeharr4 opened this issue · 1 comments

Since the file() function is gone in Python3, the example in the README doesn't work. Neither does the obvious substitution of open(), as at least some qfx files have binary characters (i.e., I had to open(file.qfx, 'rb'), and then it worked). In general, the README could use some work so that it can be understood by non-expert programmers. I may take a crack at it and offer a pull later, but I wanted to get this in now, in case someone had already done it and hadn't done a pull.

--jh--

If there is a need for opening binary file, then the Readme should change to ofx = OfxParser.parse(open('/tmp/x.ofx', 'rb')), since that will work in both python2 and python3.
