add self.ns['xbrldi'] in xbrl.py class constructor, seem like that company's filing miss the link

Adding this makes all the values turn to zero. What should I put the full prefix as? self.ns['xbrldi'] = 'http://www.xbrl.org/2003/instance' EDIT------------ self.ns['xbrldi'] = 'http://xbrl.org/2006/xbrldi' Works like a charm after some digging.
