Can't sync with SpyCast about greg

[manolomartinez]

Hi, no, this feed appears to be mostly fine. There is just a typo in the date of the offending entry, which reads "Tue, 207Oct 2015 10:30:00 EST". Feedparser, and then greg, chokes on the Oct 207 thing :). If you avoid the entry titled 'Special Breed of Warrior: An Interview with Former SEAL Clinton Emerson', it should work fine.

Anyway, greg should probably be more resilient to this kind of problems. I'll think about how to do this. Thanks for reporting!

Perhaps sanitize the date with something like dateutil then if you can't verify the date format, then get the date of the previous feed entry and increment that date by 1 day and use that as the date for the problematic feed entry. Perhaps notify the user of the change, demonstrate why the feed item date was change, and notify of the string which threw the error.

Actually, feedparser takes care of the parsing for us, and it does an excellent job at that. But yeah, the second part of your suggestion looks sensible to me. I'll try to get to it later this week.

Does 73152e1 address this?

[manolomartinez]

It does, for the time being. A more general solution would be preferable, though -- I'm working on it.
