Mindbody api (using python) emitting not well-formed (invalid token)

Hi friends I am trying to implement Mindbody API using python. But I am getting error that caused my work down. Down the page error is shown.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "Appointment.py", line 6, in <module>
class AppointmentService():

actually I am unable to resolve this problem and don't know the reason behind the error

It seems you are implementing third party API so you should take care of input which are sent to the server. Mainly this type of error occurs due to improper formatting of input and server was not able to understand your request. So please check you are hitting right service call with required parameter as in the format. Do refer to MindBody Api documentation
Good example and explanation can be found here for MindBody pyton integration http://www.mindbodydeveloper.com/mindbody-integration-python-example/

how to unpack dmoz urls from rdf dump with python and rdflib?

i tried to open rdf file (dmoz rdf dump), but a get this error message

raise ParserError(info + message)
file:///media/_dev_/data/content.rdf:5:12: Repeat node-elements inside property elements: http://dmoz.org/rdf/catid
my simple code is as follow:
import rdflib
g = rdflib.Graph()
result = g.parse("data/content.rdf")
print("graph has %s statements." % len(g))
i need to be able to read the file.
extract all links in the world category.
thanks for any possible help
EDIT:
PS: found this wikipedia rdf_dumps, so developing custom scripts is necessary to use this dump

Parsing XML exception

I'm new to python, and seriously need help! I have a number of errors I can't figure out. I'm using python 2.7 on a mac. Here is the list of errors:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "minihiveosc.py", line 378, in <module>
swhive = SWMiniHiveOSC( options.host, options.hport, options.ip, options.port, options.minibees, options.serial, options.baudrate, options.config, [1,options.minibees], options.verbose, options.apimode )

Any chance someone can help me?
Thanks!

What you posted in your question is called a "Traceback", and it shows only one error:
xml.etree.ElementTree.ParseError: not well-formed (invalid token): line 164, column 8
All the lines before it show how python got there; in the file minihiveosc.py, on line 378 some code was executed (shown in the traceback), which then led to line 280 of the same file, where something else was called, etc.
Every time Python calls a function the current state is pushed onto the stack to make room for the next context, and when an exception occurs python can show you this stack to help you diagnose your problem
In this case, you are trying to feed an XML document to the XML parser that has an error in it; by the time the parser gets to line 164, column 8, it found something it didn't expect. You'll need to inspect that document to see what the problem is, it'll be around that area.

It just because that your XML file is not wellformed at line 8. When the parser tries to read that line it raises that error. Have a look at your document to see what it is.

This is one error with stack trace.
Creation of SWMiniHiveOSC object caused error when executing load_from_file(config) method. File name or file content is in 'options.config'. Your XML config file is not well-formed, there is invalid token at line 164, column 8 in this file. The problem is with XML file, not python code.

BeautifulSoup not working

i am trying to import the content of my blog using BeautifulSoup,using the the syntax as given below
import urllib2
from BeautifulSoup import BeautifulSoup
response=urllib2.urlopen('http://www.bugsandbrains.blogspot.com')
html=response.read()
soup=BeautifulSoup(html)
Every thing worked fine two or three time after that it started throwing HtmlParseError
i see it highly unlikely that the structure of the page might have changed within a few minutes what else can might be causing this problem ?
i am enclosing the trace as well.
Traceback (most recent call last):

I just tried your code on Windows with:
Python: 2.6 (same as yours)
BeautiSoup: 3.0.8.1 (latest)
I can't reproduce this. Are you using the latest code 3.0 series which is meant for Python 2.6, not 3.1 series which is for Python 3 [0]. Sorry, but can't think of any other clues right now.
[0] http://www.crummy.com/software/BeautifulSoup/#Download

I have tried your code, and it works. My env: ActivePython 2.6.6.15, BeautifulSoup 3.0.8.1. I printed out soup variable and it contains content of "Boredom Induced Post". When I tested http://www.bugsandbrains.blogspot.com with browsers they shows Wave Sandbox login page. No clue about what is wrong :(

how to fix or make an exception for this error

I'm creating a code that gets image's urls from any web pages, the code are in python and use BeutifulSoup and httplib2.
When I run the code, I get the next error:
Look me http://movies.nytimes.com (this line is printed by the code)

raise HTMLParseError(message, self.getpos())

Someone can explain me how to fix or make an exeption for the error

Are you using latest version of BeautifulSoup?
This seems a known issue of version 3.1.x, because it started using a new parser (HTMLParser, instead of SGMLParser) that is much worse at processing malformed HTML. You can find more information about this on BeautifulSoup website.
As a quick solution, you can simply use an older version (3.0.7a).

To catch that error specifically, change your code to look like this:
try:
iSoupList = BeautifulSoup(response, parseOnlyThese=SoupStrainer('img'))
except HTMLParseError:
#Do something intelligent here
Here's some more reading on Python's try except blocks:
http://docs.python.org/tutorial/errors.html

I got that error when I had the string =& in my HTML document. When I replaced that string (in my case with =and) then I no longer received that parsing error.
