Does not work if there is a blank description

Should be updated to use .get('description', '')

I observe this issue too, this is the error message.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/postdown", line 10, in <module>
    sys.exit(execute())
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/postdown/cmdline.py", line 14, in execute
    parse(in_file, out_file)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/postdown/parser.py", line 34, in parse
    doc.block(request['description'])
KeyError: 'description'

I'm currently waiting for TitorX to review my pull request, but in the meantime you can checkout my fork here, it handles this issue.

It's not on pip though so you have to clone the source.

I solved this bug ,and become it a pip package. https://github.com/ShuiPingYang/YspPostdown

@ShuiPingYang - This is still happening for me and I am getting the following error:

File "/opt/homebrew/bin/postdown", line 8, in <module>
    sys.exit(execute())
  File "/opt/homebrew/lib/python3.9/site-packages/postdown/cmdline.py", line 14, in execute
    parse(in_file, out_file)
  File "/opt/homebrew/lib/python3.9/site-packages/postdown/parser.py", line 21, in parse
    doc.line(collection['info']['description'])
KeyError: 'description'

On parser.py line 21 still expects to have description

rows = get_rows(
            request['url']['query'],
            ['key', 'value', 'description']
        )

@Gauhar I think @ShuiPingYang has released a (new) separate package: ysp-postdown

See pypi.org, so this package (Postdown) has not been updated, but there is an alternative (ysp-postdown).
