Traceback Error: IndexError about sopel-rss HOT 6 CLOSED

There are two issues here:
(1) An error like this should be handled gracefully and a meaningful error message should be generated. I will fix this.
(2) The feed has no entries. See this ipython3 session:

In [1]: import feedparser

In [2]: feedparser.parse('https://feeds.feedburner.com/DiscoveryNews-Top-Stories')
Out[2]:
{'bozo': 1,
'bozo_exception': xml.sax._exceptions.SAXParseException('not well-formed (invalid token)'),
'encoding': 'UTF-8',
'entries': [],
(...)

Version 0.2.0 is out. It would be nice if you could install it. Please not: the format of "feeds" in the config file changed. You need to replace the spaces between channel, feed, url and format by pipes ("|").

I used the DEFAULT format in the rss.py. Do I need to add the format in the cfg file

from sopel-rss.

Now, you can (and should) leave FORMAT_DEFAULT alone and use "formats" instead where you can define one or more custom default formats. For example, you can specify one format that you'd like to use but not all of you feeds have the necessary fields. Then a second best for those. At last, the global FORMAT_DEFAULT or a minimal default format will be used. Of course, you can override the format for each feed.

You can now also use "templates" to define you own custom templates (for example colors or braces or fancy unicode characters). You need not override all format strings only those that you'd like to change.

I've also implemented an online help, for example: .rss custom define formats

I've written over 100 py.tests but of course, there might be bugs left. I'd be happy to fix them if you report the issues.
