Looks like the archive file structure has changed or is different in my locale.

Downloaded archives from facebook do not contain this file (html/messages). The zip file contains a messages folder with separate folders for each facebook user's messages. Each of those folders contains a message.html file There is no html folder.

Additionally, there are no files named messages.htm in the downloaded archive. I attempted to change one of the message.html files to messages.htm and placed it in the parser directory, but it couldn't be parsed.

I'd love to use this parser! It does exactly what I need to do.

Can it be updated to match the new archive/file structure?

Hello,

python3 facebook.py messages.htm
  File "facebook.py", line 28
    print "File is not a .zip file, a .htm file or a pickle file."
                                                                 ^
SyntaxError: Missing parentheses in call to 'print'

Also tried with the zip file, didn't work.

Facebook's Export doesn't contain any metadata about authors (like their ID or username) and so if names are not unique the parser will sometimes incorrectly group different people together. This can't be fixed except by hand, or by Facebook. Should the export file change, this may become fixable.
