I have a program which uses "feedparser". It occasionally hangs when

My solution is to download the feed file using wget, then hand that file to
feedparser. feedparser will also hang forever on a url if the server doesn't
serve.
Then you don't get the poll optimization, where feedparser sends the
token to indicate that it's already seen version N.
This is for a program that's constantly polling RSS feeds and
fetching changes. Feedparser is good for that, until the network
fails temporarily.
