Parser interprets .xbrl files as iXBRL #39

Thx, that works if the file ends on .xml. The XBRL ends on .xbrl by default in The Netherlands, so the class automatically switches to the ixbrl processing variant. Unfortunately I get the same error, but by renaming it works.

The XbrlParser class had a little bug here. I fixed it and included the .xbrl extension to to the list of file formats for XBRL Instance documents. I will create a new minor version that includes this fix. You can either update your py-xbrl installation to 2.0.4 or directly use the parse_xbrl function of the instance module:

from xbrl.instance import parse_xbrl
cache: HttpCache = HttpCache('./cache')
inst = parse_xbrl('data/XBRL/0001384108-12-000004/v-20120331.xbrl', cache)
