Thanks for the help. This works great on the top stories rss feed, but does not work on any of the other feeds. An example is the "Patriots" feed. Here is the feeds line I used. The Top works great, the Patriots does not work (though the web address is fine in Chrome).
feeds = [
(u'Top', u'http://feeds.boston.com/boston/topstories'),
(u'Patriots', u'http://feeds.boston.com/boston/sports/football/patriots')
]
Edit:
I found out some more information, Here it is. The top stories feed points to a link like:
http://www.boston.com/......./?rss_id=Top+Stories
while all others point to a feed like:
http://www.boston.com/.......?rss_id...+Patriots+news
Notice the missing slash before the ?rss_id. I think I can just change your partition statement to use rss_id as the replacement for /.
