>>> fp.entries[0].description
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/home/vagrant/lib/python2.6/site-packages/feedparser.py", line 423, in __getattr__
    raise AttributeError, "object has no attribute '%s'" % key
AttributeError: object has no attribute 'description'

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

This is the combined content of all the tags within the <media:group>: 
<media:credit>, <media:description>, and <media:restriction>.  In addition, the 
content of the subtags aren't available on their own.  This makes it 
impossible, for example, to just get the description.

It's probably not backwards compatible, but I'd think that 
fp.entries[0].media_group should return a dictionary of the tags it contains, 
rather than all the contents.  If that's not possible, just making the subtags 
available individually would work.
