I met an error when reading a xtf file about pyxtf HOT 5 CLOSED

The error occurs because the identifier for the XTF packet is 255, which is not documented in the XTF-specification. I recently made a change that returns unknown XTF-packets in raw binary form rather than throwing an error, but have not pushed it to PyPI yet. Try installing directly from github, that should at least let you continue parsing the other packets.

Let me know how it goes

I released a new version on PyPI containing the bugfix in question

Yeah, I downloaded the zip file from github, and copied the pyxtf file to the Lib (directory of python ), but it caused the same problem without warning . I am now trying to conjecture and parse the unknown xtf file given by my customer. Could you please give me some tips ? Thanks again.

Sorry, the error has changed as below.

Hi,

Your file appears to not be an XTF file at all, but a word document. Rename the extension to .docx and open it there. I suggest you obtain a real XTF file from your customer and try again.
