Package: python-feedparser
Version: 4.1-7
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
python-feedparser documentation says "etag will only be present if the
feed was retrieved from a web server, and only if the web server
provided an ETag HTTP header for the feed."
However, .etag is present always if feed was fetched from network, and
contains None value, due to missing check in code.
Attached is the patch which fixes the behavior.
This bug is also reported upstream at
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1662900&group_id=112328&atid=661937
