XML pyactiveresource parse error about shopify_python_api

That is an invalid XML element name being returned by Shopify, not a bug in this library. I'll pass along the issue.

For reference, here are the characters allowed by the XML Specification:
[4] NameStartChar ::= ":" | [A-Z] | "_" | [a-z] | [#xC0-#xD6] | [#xD8-#xF6] | [#xF8-#x2FF] | [#x370-#x37D] | [#x37F-#x1FFF] | [#x200C-#x200D] | [#x2070-#x218F] | [#x2C00-#x2FEF] | [#x3001-#xD7FF] | [#xF900-#xFDCF] | [#xFDF0-#xFFFD] | [#x10000-#xEFFFF]
[4a] NameChar ::= NameStartChar | "-" | "." | [0-9] | #xB7 | [#x0300-#x036F] | [#x203F-#x2040]
[5] Name ::= NameStartChar (NameChar)*

Thanks for the speedy response and passing it along. At risk of being off topic, is there a proper channel for one to report these Shopify API issues?

[dylanahsmith]

Shopify issues can be reported to [email protected] and it will be escalated to the right people from there.

A fix has gone out in shopify that prevents invalid XML element names from being returned. Instead, it will convert invalid XML name characters to a dash. In this case, <USPS-Global-Express-Guaranteed-(GXG)> will become <USPS-Global-Express-Guaranteed-GXG>

Additionally, <*>-</*> will become <_>-</_>
