X-No-Archive: yes Hi, I'm using feedparser to parse some xml feeds. As others reported (http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1519461&group_id=112328&atid=661937 ) the library halts while parsing some feeds.
To overcome this issue I was thinking about creating some kind of wrapper for feedparser that encapsulates a timeout. So after launching the parse method wait a few seconds and if the control does not return mark the feed as bad. I haven't much experience with Python so I'm not able to code it, any hint? Is there a better method to avoid this kind of problem? Thanks, Lorenzo -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
