I spent some time with feedjack and django-planet last year and came to the same conclusion - writing your own system with feedparser is the way to go, in combination with the source that drives the Community section of the djangoproject web site. http://birdhouse.org/blog/2009/10/20/generating-rss-mashups-from-django/ "The surprising solution came from the Community section of the official Django project web site. The Django developers keep the code that drives djangoproject.com in subversion along with the source code to Django itself. And the code that drives that section of the site is really lightweight. So I did a subversion checkout of the Aggregator app, and found that all I really needed from it was its update_feeds.py script, which itself is a wrapper around Universal Feed Parser, tweaked to talk to my own models." That became the system behind http://baynewsnetwork.org/ , which is an RSS aggregator / mashup generator.
