There is an off by one error in ogr2osm that causes it to drop the last attribute in a shapefile instead of converting it to a tag. If you try to reference the attribute in your translation file, python errors out with a keyError.

The problem is on line 417. The -1 needs to be dropped from the "for k in range" statement. This matches the statement up on line 399 which is doing something similar.

This is potentially causing information to be discarded during imports.

I was starting to bang my head against the wall trying to figure out why I couldn't import the "Notes" attribute from a shapefile I'm working on. It is the last attribute in this shapefile and eventually I realized that it had to be a problem in ogr2osm. Removing the -1 gave me a notes tag!
