Help: When Article is Feed?

[_reader]

How do we handle recipes where the url points to an article? (instead of a feed containing articles)

Seems like

use_embedded_content = False

should work.

Attached recipe has fix for today's date in url.
However, running recipe fails in build_index by not finding articles....
Debug output has links to feed urls.

import datetime
class Evangelizo_org(BasicNewsRecipe):
	title = u'Evangelizo.org'
	oldest_article = 1
	max_articles_per_feed = 3
	no_stylesheets = True
	use_embedded_content = False
   	encoding = None
	simultaneous_downloads = 20
	recursions = 0
	remove_javascript = True
	remove_empty_feeds = True
	auto_cleanup = False

	td = datetime.date.today()
	r1 = 'http://feed.evangelizo.org/reader.php?date=' \
			+ td.strftime("%Y%m%d") + '&type=reading&lang=AM&content=FR'
	r2 = 'http://feed.evangelizo.org/reader.php?date=' \
			+ td.strftime("%Y%m%d") + '&type=reading&lang=AM&content=PS'
	r3 = 'http://feed.evangelizo.org/reader.php?date=' \
			+ td.strftime("%Y%m%d") + '&type=reading&lang=AM&content=GSP'
	
	print 'At this point in the code the value of r1 is: ', r1
	print 'At this point in the code the value of r2 is: ', r2
	print 'At this point in the code the value of r3 is: ', r3

	feeds = [	
		(u'Reading', r1),
		(u'Psalm', r2),
		(u'Gospel', r3),
		]

You implement parse_index() in your recipe. There are amny builtin recipes that do this, look at them for examples.

Thanks, Kovid. I'll look at parse_index().
