This recipe was working a few weeks ago, but suddenly stopped. I thought I'd figured out the issue, but it still gives the same error every time I run it.

I know just enough Python to get myself in trouble, but I'm having issues debugging this issue deep enough to figure out what the issue is.

from calibre.web.feeds.recipes import BasicNewsRecipe
from calibre.web.feeds import Feed

import re

class PaizoWebFictionRecipe(BasicNewsRecipe):
  def get_feeds(self):
    feeds = []
    soup = self.index_to_soup('http://paizo.com/store/byCompany/p/paizoPublishingLLC/pathfinder/tales/serial')
    for alink in soup.findAll("span", {"class" : "productCategory"}):
      url = alink.a
      name = '{}'.format(url.string)
      if url.string != None:
        feeds.append((name, 'http://paizo.com' + url['href'] + '&xml=atom'))
    if not feeds:
      raise NotImplementedError
    return feeds
  
  title = u'Pathfinder Web Fiction v2.0.1'
  oldest_article = 1000000
  max_articles_per_feed = 10
  reverse_article_order = True
  cover_url = 'http://paizo.com/image/content/Logos/PathfinderTales_500.jpeg'
  remove_tags_after = [dict(name='a', text='Tags')]
  preprocess_regexps = [ (re.compile(r'src="', re.DOTALL|re.IGNORECASE), lambda match: 'src="http://www.paizo.com'), ]

Here's the error code:
