i would love it if you could share the code you built. i am stuck on trying to append the article.text_summary to feeds. it keeps telling me that i am missing a title element. i tried feeds.append((title,textsum)) when title='1' and textsum is a list of article.text_summary. no go at all.

I'm not sure what you are trying to do above. I didn't append anything to feeds and I don't know why you would want to? (I'm not at the machine with the test code on it, and it's currently being restored to an earlier state - I think a hardware problem)

Is this not clear? ...
"I put an article_title_list = [] and index n = 0 outside the functions, then used self.article_title_list.append(article.text_summar y) inside parse_feeds and self.article_title_list[self.n] inside postprocess_html to access it and self.n = self.n + 1 inside postprocess_html to increment the index. "

i am still a bit lost with the local and global variables in python....

I'm certainly no expert in Python either. However, you do need to get the title out of parse_feeds, where it's local, and into the html processing. parse_feeds will be long gone by the time html processing (pre or post) begins, and it gets restarted for each article.

that makes a lot of sense.

i think i got it more or less. the recipe that is.
the descriptions are one off from the article, but that is peanuts.

and the recipe is downloaded and i did it. thank you very much. you have no idea how much this helps me....
