XBRLParser.Parse() Doesn't Parse 10-Q or 10-K #23

I kind of new to Python, so forgive me if I miss something.

I am using python-xbrl with python 2.7. I updated python-xbrl from git with ddc1d69 to fix the marshmallow Schema problem. I have tried parsing 10-K and 10-Q files, but I have yet to have one work. parse() takes a really long time, and then always errors out saying that that file is empty.

Apparently the issue was with files downloaded from the FTP site. If I download the files manually from the Edgar search then it doesn't think the files are empty. I'm still having trouble getting any files parsed, but at least it doesn't complain they are empty anymore.
