report is not available - try again later

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. run appdailysales with userId/password without arguments

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Reports are not being downloaded. Instead:

/Library/Python/2.6/site-packages/gdata/tlslite/utils/cryptomath.py:9:
DeprecationWarning: the sha module is deprecated; use the hashlib module
instead
  import sha
-- begin script --
reportDates:  ['11/20/2009']
11/20/2009 report is not available - try again later.
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/ejo/SymbolicArmageddon/SalesData/SAReport", line 46, in <module>
    appdailysales.downloadFile(options)
  File "/Users/ejo/SymbolicArmageddon/SalesData/appdailysales.py", line
323, in downloadFile
    raise ITCException, '%i report(s) not available - try again later' %
unavailableCount
appdailysales.ITCException: '1 report(s) not available - try again later'

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
appdailysales 1.9, python 2.6.1, Mac OSX 10.6.mumble

Please provide any additional information below.

The error output is from my script which calls appdailysales, but the same
error results ( sans failed exception catching ) when appdailysales is run
standalone with the proper credentials.

This behavior began three days ago.  My software configuration has not
changed.  I'm guessing the problem is due to Apple changing the iTunes
Connect, but I haven't had the time ( or frankly the expertise ) to track
it down.

I've attached the script I'm using to drive it

Digging some more, I found the recommendation to use "Beautiful Soup".  The 
script
now functions as expected when Beautiful Soup 3.07a is installed and used.

Something did change with iTunes Connect either Wednesday or Thursday. 
Unfortunately I have not had time to 
research the problem and fix it.  I'm hoping I can do this Sunday or Monday.  
Meanwhile, as you pointed out, you 
can install Beautiful Soap to work around the problem.

Thans for reporting the issue.

I'm going to work on a fix today.  Sorry for the delay but I've been extremely 
busy over the last week.

As a temporary working around, you can install Beautiful Soap.  When Beautiful 
Soap is available the script 
follows a different set of logic for downloading the sales reports, which is 
less prone to problems if/when Apple 
changes something.

thank you very much. Just to confirm that "beautiful soup" solved the issue.

The problem has been fixed. Download version 1.10 for the latest fix.

For those wondering, Apple added 2 new form items, Fiscal Calendar and User 
Guide, which caused the problem. 

Sorry for the delay getting the fix out the door.
