Support of DATE format

[lojonas]

I plan to read in a reqif file with your parser and then edit it accordingly with additional information. The issue I came across is that the `ATTRIBUTE-DEFINITION-DATE' and its datatype conter parts are not defined, e.g;

pyreqif/src/pyreqif/rif.py

Line 180 in ce9dd62

if child.tag == ns + "DATATYPE-DEFINITION-DOCUMENT" or child.tag == ns + 'DATATYPE-DEFINITION-STRING' or child.tag == ns + 'DATATYPE-DEFINITION-XHTML'\

pyreqif/src/pyreqif/rif.py

Line 219 in ce9dd62

if attribute.tag == ns +"ATTRIBUTE-DEFINITION-COMPLEX" or attribute.tag == ns +"ATTRIBUTE-DEFINITION-STRING" or attribute.tag == ns +"ATTRIBUTE-DEFINITION-XHTML"\

Do you plan to integrate them? Or can you give me a hint where I need to work to integrate them?
I have tried to just adapt the if statements where the checks are conducted (see above) and have changed the dicts

pyreqif/src/pyreqif/rif.py

Line 42 in ce9dd62

mapReqifAttributeValue = {"default": "embeddedDoc",

to include the DATE attributes and map them to a string? Maybe there is a better datatype in python, but for me it is not necessary, as I do not plan to edit the dates.

hi @lojonas
could you try current branch?
I fixed the date-format. I guess this would NOT help you here with this issue, but I'll take some attention to this project the next days, thus I can fix this issue here also

Hello !
I plan to convert the reqif files into xlsx and or html files to extract information from them but I am running into this same issue, the error I am getting is:

Not supported datatype: {http://www.omg.org/spec/ReqIF/20110401/reqif.xsd}DATATYPE-DEFINITION-DATE Not supported Attribute: {http://www.omg.org/spec/ReqIF/20110401/reqif.xsd}ATTRIBUTE-DEFINITION-DATE Not supported Attribute: {http://www.omg.org/spec/ReqIF/20110401/reqif.xsd}ATTRIBUTE-DEFINITION-DATE valueType not supported yet: ATTRIBUTE-VALUE-DATE Traceback (most recent call last): File "REQIF_to_Xlsx.py", line 10, in <module> main() File "REQIF_to_Xlsx.py", line 7, in main doc = pyreqif.rif.load(sys.argv[1]) File "C:\app\Python37\lib\site-packages\pyreqif\rif.py", line 336, in load values[value['attributeRef']] = reqif2py(value) KeyError: 'attributeRef'

Is there any plans to add the date format to other parts of the library in the future?
Is there any other way I can go about extracting information from a reqif file into a more digestible format.
