I am working on a recipe consisting of a couple of RSS feeds and one webpage that needs custom parsing. Articles from both sources have the same structure, so they all can be parsed with the same preprocess_html()
So I thought to be clever and did something along this pseudo-code

Code:

class MyRecipe(BasicNewsRecipe) :
    INDEX = u'http://example.com'
    feeds = [(u'example', u'http://example.com/rss')]
    
    def parse_index(self) :
        #raise Exception('spam', 'eggs') # This is always raised
        answer = super(MyRecipe, self).parse_index()
        #raise Exception('spam', 'bacon and eggs') # This is never raised, but the feeds _are_  parsed
        
        #  Do my thing with self.INDEX . . .
        
        answer.insert(0, [myTitle, myArticles])
        
        return answer

But this does not work. The call to super.parse_index() never returns, where I expected it to have the same signature.

What am I missing, and is there a workaround?
