"""Scan a URL's contents to find related feeds
This is a compatible replacement for Aaron Swartz's feedfinder module,
using feedparser to check whether the URLs it returns are feeds.
It finds links to feeds within the following elements:
- (standard feed discovery)
- , if the href contains words that suggest it might be a feed
It orders feeds using a quality heuristic: the first result is the most
likely to be a feed for the given URL.
Required: Python 2.4 or later, feedparser
