Is "feedparser" deprecated?
Feedparser requires SGMLlib, which has been removed from Python 3.0. Feedparser hasn't been updated since 2007. Does this mean Feedparser is dead? John Nagle -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Wouldn't you be better served asking this on the feedparser bug tracker? http://code.google.com/p/feedparser/issues/list -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Does this mean Feedparser is dead? Since we have generic and easy of use XML parsers like ElementTree and lxml, specialized rss parsers like feedparser are not so much required. I've used ElementTree when I had to parse an rss feed in the past (not so many times). -- Gabriel Genellina -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Does this mean Feedparser is dead? Since we have generic and easy of use XML parsers like ElementTree and lxml, specialized rss parsers like feedparser are not so much required. I've used ElementTree when I had to parse an rss feed in the past (not so many times). Take a look at what Feedparser has to do to deal with real-world RSS feeds. There are several hundred lines of code just to figure out the source encoding. There's gzip support, Atom support, base 64 encoding support... Then there's the RSS polling protocol, which also requires some support. A basic XML parser only does part of the job. John Nagle -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
