TypeError

[Rafał Wieczorek]

With one of my rss feeds I keep getting:

CRITICAL Unexpected Error: Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/rssdler.py", line 2079, in

ppage['entries'][i], dirDict)

size, data2 = getFileSize(data.info(), data)

x = open(x, 'r').read()

bytes), not str


I fixed it modifying getFileSize, I have added:

except TypeError:
logging.critical(''.join((traceback.format_exc() ,
u"""File was supposed to be torrent data, but could not be
bdecoded""")))

After bdecode(data). I am not Python developer, so I dont know if this
is correct way to do it, but it works for me

Similar problem here, kept crashing while downloading the following
feed:
http://showrss.karmorra.info/rss.php?user_id=11250&hd=null&proper=1

Tried it using http://ezrss.it/feeds/ and it was successful, so
there's something in the ShowRss it's failing on.

Following advice above, I changed:
except ValueError:

to:
except TypeError:

It now works, but gives the following error, major difference now
being that it continues running :)
