[Python-modules-team] Bug#876413: [feedparser] new upstream version available

[Carl Suster]

Hi Antoine,

I've updated the packaging of feedparser and pushed 5.2.1-1 to mentors:

https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/f/feedparser/feedparser_5.2.1-1.dsc

https://mentors.debian.net/package/feedparser

5.2.1 is at least a start, and maybe afterwards we can look at improving 
the python3 support. However it does seem that the project has been 
semi-abandoned upstream.

If you're still interested in feedparser, could you perhaps review my 
package?

A couple of the tests were failing but it wasn't obvious to me why they 
should ever have passed in the first place. For now I disabled those, 
and then later in a subsequent version I intend to investigate in more 
detail while exploring the python3 situation.
