You always feed bytes to urllib.quote() and hash.update() not unicode strings. Also why are you hashing at all? Just use the URL as the key. And you can greatly simplify the code to something like

Code:

import cPickle
items = set()
if exists(file):
    items = cPickle.loads(open(file, 'rb').read())

feed.articles = [a for a in feed.articles if a.url not in items]
items |= {a.url for a in feed.articles}
open(file, 'wb').write(cPickle.dumps(items, -1))
