[RSS] Throws error on fetch

[walliski]

When trying to .rss fetch with http://www.teamfortress.com/rss.xml as URL for a feed, the bot gives the following error:

 Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/willie/bot.py", line 719, in     call
     exit_code = func(willie, trigger)
   File "/home/%USERNAME%/.willie/modules/rss.py", line 129, in manage_rss
     bot.memory['rss_manager'].manage_rss(bot, trigger)
   File "/home/%USERNAME%/.willie/modules/rss.py", line 161, in manage_rss
     if getattr(self, '_rss_' + text[1])(bot, trigger, conn.cursor()):
   File "/home/%USERNAME%/.willie/modules/rss.py", line 337, in _rss_fetch
     read_feeds(bot, True)
   File "/home/%USERNAME%/.willie/modules/rss.py", line 413, in read_feeds
     feed.name, fp.bozo_exception.getMessage()), 'warning')
 AttributeError: 'CharacterEncodingOverride' object has no attribute             'getMessage'

It might be specific to the Teamfortress feed, but what makes it want to throw an error, and why doesn't it succeed?

I'm having this exact issue

After digging the code myself last night, I was able to make the feeds I was having issue with to work. I simply commented out the lines belonging to the bozo_exception check, which are from 412 thru 417, and then the feeds worked.

Not the prettiest thing, but a least the feeds started working.

I haven't had time to look at it myself... But I think this might have something to do with it:
if character encoding is wrong, try several common ones before falling back to regexes (if this works, bozo_exception is set to CharacterEncodingOverride

And then I gave up and did a similar approach as d0cx. Added a "try" that catches AttributeError...
