"""feedfinder: Find the Web feed for a Web page
http://www.aaronsw.com/2002/feedfinder/

Usage:
  feed(uri) - returns feed found for a URI
  feeds(uri) - returns all feeds found for a URI

    >>> import feedfinder
    >>> feedfinder.feed('scripting.com')
    'http://scripting.com/rss.xml'
    >>>
    >>> feedfinder.feeds('scripting.com')
    ['http://delong.typepad.com/sdj/atom.xml', 
     'http://delong.typepad.com/sdj/index.rdf', 
     'http://delong.typepad.com/sdj/rss.xml']
    >>>

Can also use from the command line.  Feeds are returned one per line:

    $ python feedfinder.py diveintomark.org
    http://diveintomark.org/xml/atom.xml

How it works:
  0. At every step, feeds are minimally verified to make sure they are really feeds.
  1. If the URI points to a feed, it is simply returned; otherwise
     the page is downloaded and the real fun begins.
  2. Feeds pointed to by LINK tags in the header of the page (autodiscovery)
  3. <A> links to feeds on the same server ending in ".rss", ".rdf", ".xml", or 
     ".atom"
  4. <A> links to feeds on the same server containing "rss", "rdf", "xml", or "atom"
  5. <A> links to feeds on external servers ending in ".rss", ".rdf", ".xml", or 
     ".atom"
  6. <A> links to feeds on external servers containing "rss", "rdf", "xml", or "atom"
  7. Try some guesses about common places for feeds (index.xml, atom.xml, etc.).
  8. As a last ditch effort, we search Syndic8 for feeds matching the URI
