Can the issue with Life & Arts not be circumvented by reading the rss feeds on http://www.ft.com/intl/rss? The LA Times recipe reads rss feeds. Maybe a modification of that recipe would generate a complete FT?

I tried this but am very limited in my programming experience and so ran into an calibre, version 0.9.32
ERROR: Invalid input: <p>Could not create recipe. Error:<br>'utf8' codec can't decode byte 0xfb in position 5490: invalid start byte

error when trying to read my .py file into calibre.

Thx for any help,

Piet
