Your importers framework is so awesome! I wrote some of my own importers and the methods were written such that I could override exactly what I needed and nothing more.

Very glad to hear you're finding it helpful! And that was exactly the intent behind the design, so that makes me even happier. I appreciate the note :).

Hi, Reds. I wrote some importers for your framework some years ago. I was picking them up again but they aren't working. It seems there were updates which I missed in the meantime. Could you point me to the right version where the importer attributes were "encoding_string" instead of "file_encoding" and there wasn't a "filename_pattern_def" yet? Also, the method to overwrite was "prepare_raw_columns" not "prepare_table"? Can I pip install that specific version yet? I would like to have my old importers work first as they were, so that I can update them to the present version afterwards. Thanks.

@mvianna, there's no easy way for me to figure that out, but I'd say your best bet in these situations would be to run your importer with git bisect. You should be able to find the right version in a minute. Hope that helps!
