Feedfinder2

This is a Python library for finding links feeds on a website. It is based on feedfinder <http://www.aaronsw.com/2002/feedfinder/>_ - originally written by Mark Pilgrim <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Pilgrim_(software_developer)>_ and subsequently maintained by Aaron Swartz <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aaron_Swartz>_ until his untimely death.

Usage

Feedfinder2 offers a single public function: find_feeds. You would use it as follows:

::

from feedfinder2 import find_feeds
feeds = find_feeds("xkcd.com")

Now, feeds is the list: ['http://xkcd.com/atom.xml', 'http://xkcd.com/rss.xml']. There is some attempt made to rank feeds from best candidate to worst but... well... you never know.
