Description

I'm running a script trying to download and parse all active datasets with Python.
So far, I got these errors:
Datasets have string features: 374, 376, 379, 380
Datasets with end-of-line comments behind attributes: 1074

I'll report back if more show up.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the Python script that downloads and parses all active datasets, focusing on datasets 374, 376, 379, 380, and 1074. Review the parser entry point reached by that script and determine the expected handling for string features and end-of-line comments. Done means the reported datasets parse successfully and any additional failures are documented.
