Reading the Daily Python-URL with Syndirella

I noticed that the Daily Python-URL^[1] claimed that EffNews was "the only RSS reader out there that can read the python daily-url ;-)". So I downloaded EffNews and checked it out and it did read it^[2] But I wanted to see if I could read it with my RSS aggregator, Syndirella, which has a great customizable scraper^[3]. Thankfully, the Daily Python-URL provides tons of extra HTML and comments which make it easy to pick out the date and description of an item. So I can now read the DPU with Syndirella. Rock on.

Update: Hey, look at that. Mark comments on the same thing re: EffNews

Footnotes:
[1]: On 1/16. Not only don't they have an RSS feed, they don't have permalinks either!
[2]: They had custom regular expressions in Python set up to read the page
[3]: It could really be improved to support newlines, however
