parsing error

[vvknain]

In [41]: x = phonenumbers.parse('+917878787xyz', None)

In [42]: print x
Country Code: 91 National Number: 7878787999

i couldn't find a way to to workaround this problem. Any help?

You don't actually say what your 'error' or 'problem' is, but I'm guessing it's that the 'xyz' at the end is being parsed as a vanity number.

The Python code behaves the same as the Java code, and I believe this is deliberate behaviour on their part -- see googlei18n/libphonenumber#1199 for more information.
