I posted a new version (0.9.7) that doesn’t strip those 2 characters. I don’t remember why I added that, thanks for pointing this out!

One little prob in feedjack_update.py; when you store the etag, you are getting rid of the quotation marks, which means you must put them back before you use the etag kwarg in feedparser.parse(), otherwise I don’t think you’ll ever get a 304:


def process_feed(feed, tagdict):
""" Downloads and parses a feed.
"""
print '#\n# Processing feed:', feed.feed_url, '\n#'
# we check the etag and the modified time to save bandwith and avoding
# bans
try:
fpf = feedparser.parse(feed.feed_url, agent=USER_AGENT,
etag='"'+feed.etag+'"')


(Either that or don’t strip the quotes in the first place, what’s a couple of chars among friends?)
