I've never used it myself but maybe this would be useful:
http://feedparser.org/
>From the Homepage:
>>> import feedparser
>>> d = feedparser.parse("http://feedparser.org/docs/examples/atom10.xml";)
>>> d.feed.title
u'Sample Feed'
>>> d.channel.title
u'Sample Feed'
>>> d.feed.link
u'http://example.org/'
>>> d.feed.subtitle # parses escaped HTML
u'For documentation <em>only</em>'
>>> d.channel.description
u'For documentation <em>only</em>'
