Error with new version of pelican: 'Pelican' object has no attribute 'get_writer'

I'm not sure if bug reports should go here or https://github.com/getpelican/pelican-plugins/issues . The "pelican_comment_system" seems to no longer work for me with the latest version of pelican. Instead I get a "'Pelican' object has no attribute 'get_writer'" error:

AttributeError: 'Pelican' object has no attribute 'get_writer'

Plugin breaks pelican (NoneType object has no attribute 'lower' )

Heyo

I've been trying to get this system to work for me. Every time I try to run pelican I get as far as generating the comment XML feeds and then the program breaks down and nothing else gets rendered.

At this point I am not using any of the comments in any templates. I'm simply trying to run pelican with the plugin, I keep getting NoneType object has no attribute 'lower'

I've tried both versions 1.3.0 and 1.4.0 of pelican_comment_system. I'm using Pelican 4.0.1 with pelican_comment_system and pelican installed in a Pipenv.

Here's my settings:

The only reference to the str.lower() method I can find is in the init file:

pelican_comment_system/pelican_comment_system/__init__.py

Lines 182 to 195 in 0ac19ef

	for file in os.listdir(folder):
	name, extension = os.path.splitext(file)
	if extension[1:].lower() in reader.extensions:
	com = reader.read_file(
	base_path=folder, path=file,
	content_class=Comment, context=context)
	com.article = content
	_all_comments.append(com)
	if hasattr(com, 'replyto'):
	replies.append(com)
	else:
	comments.append(com)

I tried wrapping the inside of the if block in a try/catch, if I do this, the script finishes, all of my site gets generated and 0 comments get generated, so the problem is definitely here. Perhaps it's in the reader_read_file() method.
