ValueError importing data

[Ömer Özak]

Hi Albert,

I am trying to import data using the package and I am getting a ValueError. Specifically, when I do

with spss.SavReaderNp(spssfile) as reader:
    records = reader.all()

I get

with spss.SavReaderNp(spssfile) as reader:
    records = reader.all()

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

If instead I do

python

records = []
with spss.SavReader(spssfile, ioLocale='en_US.UTF-8') as reader:
    print(spssfile)
    for line in reader:
        records.append(line)

I get no errors. Any idea why?
