I do the feed parsing in python. It reads the list of feeds from the Ur/Web database, fetches them, parses them, and stores the data back in the database. Now that Ur/Web can have server side threads (Mantis issue 36) and better external POST support (Mantis issue 38), I'll move to having Ur/Web do more of this. For the task of parsing I might leave that to Python or find some C based library I can use with the FFI. I'm not sure I'm up to writing an RSS parser in Ur/Web natively.
