overview(game_id) causes XMLSyntaxError
Opened this issue · 2 comments
If I cycle through 'mlbgame.day()' with today's date I receive a list of all the games, including the 'game_id'. If I use that 'game_id' and try and use 'mlbgame.overview(game_id)', I receive the following error:
File "http://gd2.mlb.com/components/game/mlb/year_2019/month_06/day_04/gid_2019_06_04_atlmlb_pitmlb_1/rawboxscore.xml", line 1
lxml.etree.XMLSyntaxError: Space required after the Public Identifier, line 1, column 55
I have tried this with games in the past as well and still receive the same error.
I'm kind of new to Python, so there's a chance I'm doing something wrong.
I use overview = mlbgame.overview(gameid). The same way you do. I put all my code inside a try because occasionally the XML database is messed up the mlbgame cant pull it.
To get around the issues I was having, without using a try/except, I just commented out the 'raw_box_score' and 'raw_box_score_root' lines in 'game.py' (lines 325, 328, 335, and 336). I haven't had any issues since.
I guess a try/except would be better, I'll go that route in case there are other problems that arise.
