dolfin-convert not working with quadrilateral

[Paulo Yamabe]

Hi

Just tried to convert a gmsh file using Dolfin-convert for quadrilateral elements and got the output

Converting from Gmsh format (.msh, .gmsh) to DOLFIN XML format
Traceback (most recent call last):

Agree, there is a problem with dolfin-convert... I have a fix in progress. However, I think it will not support quads anyway. You might want to look at the meshio project.

This error is also present for triangular meshes. Works with 2017.1.0
