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!

There is more discussion there. I liked the analogy of switching tech job for manual labour to: camping vs being homeless.
