AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'text'

I just tried to get rid of one of my wordpress blogs but pretty early had to stop because of this:

reading: wordpress-xml/photos.xml
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "exitwp.py", line 292, in <module>
    data=parse_wp_xml(wpe)
  File "exitwp.py", line 127, in parse_wp_xml
    'items': parse_items(),
  File "exitwp.py", line 111, in parse_items
    'date' : gi('wp:post_date'),
  File "exitwp.py", line 91, in gi
    result=i.find(ns[namespace]+tag).text
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'text'

Am I doing it wrong?

I got a same error, how you solved this issue?

It looks like this is related to the namespaces. With newer versions of wordpress blogs, these namespaces are different so exitwp.py can't find the xml elements it needs to process:

ns = {
        '':'', #this is the default namespace
        'excerpt':"{http://wordpress.org/export/1.1/excerpt/}",
        'content':"{http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/}",
        'wfw':"{http://wellformedweb.org/CommentAPI/}",
        'dc':"{http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/}",
        'wp':"{http://wordpress.org/export/1.1/}"
    }
