I am running Python 2.6 on a Windows Vista (32-bit) platform. I recently installed the Universal Feed Parser package (feedparser-5-0). When I try to execute the following commands:

>>> import feedparser
>>> d = feedparser.parse("http://feedparser.org/docs/examples/atom10.xml";)

which is given at http://www.feedparser.org/

I get an Assertion error in the following function in feedparser.py


def __getattr__(self, key):
        try:
              return self.__dict__[key]
        except KeyError:
              pass
        try:
assert not key.startswith('_') <------- Error occurs when this statement is executed.
              return self.__getitem__(key)
        except:
              raise AttributeError, "object has no attribute '%s'" % key


Why does the error occur and how should he be corrected?
