Excellent bug report, thanks! I'm not able to reproduce this using any of the
linked feeds with feedparser 5.1 and BeautifulSoup 3.2.0. Would you try
reproducing the issue after upgrading?
Feedparser doesn't support BeautifulSoup 3.1.0.1; the author has written that
he considers it a failed experiment, so feedparser doesn't support that
version. I also know that several BeautifulSoup-related crashes were fixed in
5.1, so I expect that after upgrading that'll fix the problem.
As for wrapping feedparser in a try/except, you can if you want, but
feedparser's goal is to never crash, which is why reports like this are so
valuable to improving the software.
