feedfinder with newsblur bug fixes
"""feedfinder: Find the Web feed for a Web page
http://www.aaronsw.com/2002/feedfinder/
Usage:
feed(uri) - returns feed found for a URI
feeds(uri) - returns all feeds found for a URI
>>> import feedfinder
>>> feedfinder.feed('scripting.com')
'http://scripting.com/rss.xml'
>>>
>>> feedfinder.feeds('scripting.com')
['http://delong.typepad.com/sdj/atom.xml',
'http://delong.typepad.com/sdj/index.rdf',
'http://delong.typepad.com/sdj/rss.xml']
>>>
Can also use from the command line. Feeds are returned one per line:
$ python feedfinder.py diveintomark.org
http://diveintomark.org/xml/atom.xml
How it works:
0. At every step, feeds are minimally verified to make sure they are really feeds.
1. If the URI points to a feed, it is simply returned; otherwise
the page is downloaded and the real fun begins.
2. Feeds pointed to by LINK tags in the header of the page (autodiscovery)
3. <A> links to feeds on the same server ending in ".rss", ".rdf", ".xml", or
".atom"
4. <A> links to feeds on the same server containing "rss", "rdf", "xml", or "atom"
5. <A> links to feeds on external servers ending in ".rss", ".rdf", ".xml", or
".atom"
6. <A> links to feeds on external servers containing "rss", "rdf", "xml", or "atom"
7. Try some guesses about common places for feeds (index.xml, atom.xml, etc.).
8. As a last ditch effort, we search Syndic8 for feeds matching the URI
