"""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. links to feeds on the same server ending in ".rss", ".rdf", ".xml", or
".atom"
4. links to feeds on the same server containing "rss", "rdf", "xml", or "atom"
5. links to feeds on external servers ending in ".rss", ".rdf", ".xml", or
".atom"
6. 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
