Unable to parse WADL string due to incorrect XML namespace

[Daniel Riti]

I attempted to use wadllib to parse the following example WADL file:

http://www.w3.org/Submission/wadl/#x3-40001.3

However, I got the following error:

```
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/driti/work/wadl-test/test_wadl.py", line 84, in test_something
    wadl = Application("http://localhost:9998/", WADL_STRING_2)
  File "/home/driti/work/wadl-test/venv/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/wadllib/application.py", line 1074, in __init__
    self.resource_base = self.resources.attrib.get('base')
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'attrib'
```

So after some investigation, I noticed that wadllib searches for tags using the "http://research.sun.com/wadl/2006/10" XML namespace:

http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~lazr-developers/wadllib/trunk/view/head:/src/wadllib/application.py#L89

Meanwhile, the WADL specification states that "http://wadl.dev.java.net/2009/02" should be used for the XML namespace:

http://www.w3.org/Submission/wadl/#x3-50002

So my question is, am I using wadllib incorrectly? The XML namespace seems to be hardcoded and I don't see any way of setting an "XML namespace" parameter in the Application class constructor. Or is this a bug?

Thanks in advance!

I'm seeing the same issue when trying to parse the Confluence Questions API WADL file from https://docs.atlassian.com/confluence-questions/rest/application.wadl .

I know this issue is five years old, but I'm guessing that means nobody is paying attention to this project any more.
