Read station inventory - sc3ml

Hi

I’ve made a station inventory using Gempa’s SMP tool. I’ve ensured the I export the xml as SC3XML/0.7, in line with Obspy.

However, when I try to read the inventory in Obspy, I get the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./test.py", line 4, in <module>
    inv = read_inventory('sph1r17_VOiLA-onshore-8.xml')
  File "<decorator-gen-83>", line 2, in read_inventory

    response_element, cha_element,
UnboundLocalError: local variable 'response_element' referenced before assignment

The xml file is here if anyone would like to see it: https://www.dropbox.com/s/nso0fdtf5uj3yeo/sph1r17_VOiLA-onshore-8.xml?dl=0.
The smp repository can be found here: https://smp.gempa.de/sph1r17/VOiLA-onshore

The sensor and digitiser response seems to be correctly attached in the xml file.

Can anyone assist me here with trying to get to the root of the problem?

Thanks in advance for your help

Hi Steve,

this has now been fixed (https://github.com/obspy/obspy/pull/1817) and will be included in the 1.1.0 release.

Best,
