[IronPython] [python] IronPython Community Edition - FeedParser Weirdness

[Michael Foord]

Hmm... no '__delattr__' or '__getattribute__' to start with - and more 
importantly no entries. Odd. I wonder if an exception is being raised in 
fetching the feed (or something...) and being suppressed by feedparser.

I'm afraid that unless anyone has any direct experience of using 
feedparser with IronPython, the only option is to follow the code 
backwards until you find the problem...
