[snip]Hi everybody,
I just got hit by the silliest, stupidest error on my part and I decided to share it, since it was kinda funny after the fact and so that no one else would make my mistake.
Happened to me too.
I was thinking that the .strip() simply took out the specified absolute phrase. I was wrong. The .strip() looks for all the characters specified and takes them out. For the other tags, this did not get me since none of the other names matched any where close to data type or the combination of letters. Only for the author part because I had put in pumaninja which if you see has p, u, m, a contained in mapauthor.
