I do the feed parsing in python. It reads the list of feeds from the
Ur/Web database, fetches them, parses them, and stores the data back
in the database.

Now that Ur/Web can have server side threads (Mantis issue 36) and
better external POST support (Mantis issue 38), I'll move to having
Ur/Web do more of this. For the task of parsing I might leave that to
Python or find some C based library I can use with the FFI. I'm not
sure I'm up to writing an RSS parser in Ur/Web natively.

Chris.
