Just to be clear: Planet uses Mark's feed parser, which uses SGMLlib.

Cool.

I was investigating a bug in sgmllib which affected the feed parser (and therefore Planet), and noticed that there were changes in the SVN head of Python which broke three feed parser unit tests.

It is my belief that these changes will break other existing users of sgmllib.

This is good to know; thanks for pointing it out.

If you can summarize the specific changes to sgmllib that cause problems for the feed parser, and identify the tests there that rely on the old behavior, I'll be glad to look at the problems. I expect to have some time in the next few evenings, so I should be able to look at these soon.

Is the SourceForge CVS the definitive development source for the feed parser?
