Error when executing example

[UweZiegenhagen]

I am running the example code and receive an error with the Sparkasse account:

  File "<ipython-input-11-a93d51eacccf>", line 1, in <module>
    runfile('D:/fints/test.py', wdir='D:/fints')

  File "C:\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\spyder\utils\site\sitecustomize.py", line 710, in runfile
    execfile(filename, namespace)

  File "C:\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\spyder\utils\site\sitecustomize.py", line 101, in execfile
    exec(compile(f.read(), filename, 'exec'), namespace)

  File "D:/fints/test.py", line 26, in <module>
    statement = f.get_statement(accounts[0], date(2017, 12, 1), date.today())

  File "C:\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\fints-0.2.1-py3.5.egg\fints\client.py", line 89, in get_statement
    statement += mt940_to_array(m.group(2))

  File "C:\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\fints-0.2.1-py3.5.egg\fints\utils.py", line 11, in mt940_to_array
    return transactions.parse(data)

  File "C:\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\mt940\models.py", line 394, in parse
    for k, v in _compat.iteritems(result):

NameError: name '_compat' is not defined

Is this just a version error with my Anaconda Python 3.5.4?

I can't try this myself right now, but it looks like an error in mt940 package...

I think so too, but commenting out the passage did not help much (I'd have to dig a lot deeper to patch this I'm afraid). With a non-Anaconda Xubuntu Python 3.5.2 installation I was able to run the code.

I was able to trace it down to console_encoding = sys.__stdout__.encoding in the file _compat.py which I simply patched with console_encoding = 'utf-8'
