Kovid,
I downloaded the Atlantic Monthly recipe from your website with the intention of modifing it to capture the daily feed from them. I modified the recipe by as follows:

        return {'Daily Issue' : articles }

When I run it I get:

Macintosh-3:books billc$ feeds2lrf atlantic-1.py
Fetching feeds...

Fetching feeds... Traceback (most recent call last):

NameError: global name 'BeautifulSoup' is not defined

But it seems to me that 'BeautifulSoup' is defined in line 22 e.g.

rom libprs500.ebooks.BeautifulSoup import BeautifulSoup

What have I done wrong?

I Went back and ran the unmodified recipe in terminal mode and got the same result.
