Try to handle different feed styles 
Sometimes feeds provide the entire post as HTML (e.g. Gentoo Planet),
some only give a summary in HTML (ABC News) and some only give a
plain-text summary (ABC News previously).

This tries to support a few different formats gracefully, before giving
up and just displaying "Summary not available".

TornadoNews: a feed aggregator built on Tornado

TornadoNews is a small feed aggregator much like Planet written to be small and simple.

It uses the Tornado asynchronous framework to fetch RSS and ATOM feeds asynchronously and uses its templating engine to generate the final HTML output. Like Planet, it is intended to be run from a cron job, with the output served up by a conventional HTTP server (e.g. Apache, nginx, lighthttpd, OpenBSD httpd, Microsoft IIS, etc...).

Feeds are parsed using the feedparser module, and a composite RSS feed is generated using feedgenerator.

The code works on both Python 2.7 and 3.4. It has been exclusively developed and tested on Linux. It should work with anything that understands POSIX.
