Unfortunately, Sebastian’s hacks to feedparser.py did not solve our utf8 problems for good. Waldemar’s latest blog entry caused another error. The sf.net version of feedparser.py contains critical api changes and therefore is not a drop-in replacement. Fortunately, Scott’s latest devel version contains the necessary changes to the planet infrastructure, so we should have full utf-8 support. One downside, Scott’s version does not contain support for channel keywords, so my dirty hack[tm] for category support, which was based on that feature does not work as well. If anyone is interested in implementing category support, go ahead!

Oh, and I’ve added links for rss feeds for planet.luusa.org.
