Thanks to everyone who replied.

Python was installed in the subdirectory C:\Python27 with the file 
feedparser.py residing in C:\Python27\Lib\email.

Setting the Windows environment variable (which did not previously 
exist) to C:\Python27\Lib\email allowed me to import feedparser 
successfully.

However, it seems that this feedparser module is not the module I wanted.

I'm trying to follow an introductory Python course from the magazine 
Linux Format (issue number 120 I think). The article includes the 
following lines:

>>> import feedparser
>>> url = “http://weather.yahooapis.com/forecastrss?p=UKXX0637&u=c”
>>> data = feedparser.parse(url)

This is fine using Ubuntu (after installing the feedparser package) but 
now, running XP I get

>>> data = feedparser.parse(url)
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'parse'



So there seems to be at least 2 feedparser modules - the one I have does 
not include "parse". How can I identify the correct one? How do I

This is all confusing and frustrating.

Some searching suggests I need the 'universal feed parser' code. I can 
find documentation for this but no code/module file. Is it available 
only for Unix-like OS's?
