Couple feedparser bugs fixed
March 19, 2008 – 6:19 pmIf you massively use python feedparser, sooner or later you’ll encounter a feed with non-ascii symbols that tracebacks with somethings like
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 10: ordinal not in range(128)
or even
IndexError: pop from empty list
Using latest version from svn helps, but even it has some bugs 1, 2 in microformats parsing.
Since I use feedparser actively on chytach, I tend follow feedparser svn and to fix bugs quickly.
In case you need, I’ve opened a git repository with fixes on Gitorious
RPM with the fixes is on the way to the ALT Linux Sisyphus
