a python library for parsing rss feeds: feedparser

Initially developed by Mark Pilgrim, whose book about HTML5 I read when HTML5 was a big hype.

Another interesting fact, Aaron Swartz contributed to this library.

Last but not least, the library is still under active development today!

After five years, 88% of patients who took the daily pill after the removal of their tumour were still alive, compared with 78% of patients treated with a placebo.

This is a drug that targets lung cancer (~12% of cancers) and only one type of lung cancer (non-small cell lung cancer, ~80% of cases). It targets a particular mutated gene that occurs in about 30% of that subtype. And then, about 50% of those patients respond.
