@Deputy-Dawg

Why not let the Christian Science Monitors servers figure out the date mapping for you. Here's some code that should do just that

Code:

def print_version(self, url):
    resolved_url = self.browser.open(url).geturl()
    return resolved_url.strip()[:-1]

It's a little slow as it involves going out to the network, but its reliable.

As for article date, I'm afraid there isn't any way to access that short of re-implementing the parse_feeds function.
