feedparser.py seems to be a module in feedmanager and so will be a little problematic as it is python-2.5 or higher. Freevo-1 works with Python-2.4 or higher (Of course this will change in time, Gentoo are dragging their feet a bit with Python-2.5) I've just replaced the regular expressions in rssfeed.py with element tree and this seems to be working well.
