AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'startswith'

Hello,

I get this error when I try to run python pdcalc.py:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "pdcalc.py", line 45, in <module>
    if args.instance.startswith("http"):
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'startswith'

looks like an argument is missing. I will have the response being a bit more gentle and more explanatory. 😄

The -i argument is missing. I ran into this myself.

Try running it like this: pdcalc -c germany -f rdf -l bnf -i inputfile.xml
