There is a feedparser.py file lurking around - so I suppose Python

Anyone: What to do?

Thanks to everyone who replied.
Python was installed in the subdirectory C:\Python27 with the file
feedparser.py residing in C:\Python27\Lib\email.
Setting the Windows environment variable (which did not previously
exist) to C:\Python27\Lib\email allowed me to import feedparser
successfully.
However, it seems that this feedparser module is not the module I wanted.
I'm trying to follow an introductory Python course from the magazine
Linux Format (issue number 120 I think). The article includes the
following lines:
import feedparser
url = “http://weather.yahooapis.com/forecastrss?p=UKXX0637&u=c”
data = feedparser.parse(url)
This is fine using Ubuntu (after installing the feedparser package) but
now, running XP I get
data = feedparser.parse(url)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'parse'
So there seems to be at least 2 feedparser modules - the one I have does
not include "parse". How can I identify the correct one? How do I
This is all confusing and frustrating.
Some searching suggests I need the 'universal feed parser' code. I can
find documentation for this but no code/module file. Is it available
only for Unix-like OS's?

Once again thanks to those that replied.
Since I posted, I found a version 4.1 on sourceforge.
I guessed/muddled my way through installation and it seems to work.
To Tom Golden,
Thanks for the link to http://pypi.python.org/pypi/feedparser/ - I
couldn't find it and I don't know how you did.
The version at http://pypi.python.org/pypi/feedparser/ is 5.1. Can I
simply install 'over the top' of the previous one or do I need to
uninstall V4.1?
