Using a new debian 6.0.5 system, I get the following error trying to run the script:

    ~/bin/ikiwiki-wordpress-import.py "Name" email@domain log < ~/share/wordpress.2012-08-23.xml.edited | git-fast-import
    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "/home/luke/bin/ikiwiki-wordpress-import.py", line 139, in <module>
        main(*sys.argv[1:])
      File "/home/luke/bin/ikiwiki-wordpress-import.py", line 65, in main
        content += x.find('content:encoded').string.replace('\r\n', '\n')
    AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'replace'
    git-fast-import statistics:

Any ideas on what I am doing wrong would be appreciated.

When I attempt to use this script, I get the following error:
warning: Not updating refs/heads/master (new tip 26b1787fca04f2f9772b6854843fe99fe06e6088 does not contain fc0ad65d14d88fd27a6cee74c7cef3176f6900ec).  I have git 1.5.6.5, any ideas?

Thanks!!

### KeyError: 146

I also get this error, here's the output (it seems to stem from an error in the python script):

<pre>
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "../ikiwiki-wordpress-import.py", line 74, in <module>
    main(*sys.argv[1:])
  File "../ikiwiki-wordpress-import.py", line 54, in main

  File "../ikiwiki-wordpress-import.py", line 30, in <lambda>
    % htmlentitydefs.codepoint2name[ord(c)] for c in x.object[x.start:x.end]]), x.end))

etc.

(Removed now dead info and blah blah.)

> It works fine.... The script is picky about having everything in proper UTF-8, **and** proper XML and HTML escaping. You need that to have a successful import. I let Emacs remove DOS line endings, and it works OK (if on *nix of some sort, of course). Thing is with this `git fast-import`, is that you have to `git reset` afterwards, (let's say you put them in posts/) `git checkout posts`, `git add posts`, then commit. I don't know if this a characteristic with `git fast-import`, but this is the way I get my posts to exist on the filesystem. If I don't do this, then I lose the data. If you get that "Not updating..." error, then just --force the import in. --[[users/simonraven]]
