If you've not got the whole of lxml, the rest of the app just won't work. This is fixed in the latest revision, but only for this particular issue.

I was missing drv_libxml2, which meant that instead of using libxml for SAX (with namespace support), feedparser was getting ExPat, which I seem to remember installing previously. It all worked fine when I used the libxml Python bindings from http://users.skynet.be/sbi/libxml-python/ instead of the ones at http://pypi.python.org/pypi/lxml/2.0.2. In other words, getting "http_status" instead of "planet_http_status" is a sign that the SAX parser in use doesn't support namespaces. As noted at http://xrotwang.wordpress.com/2007/09/05/python-saxparser-woes/ , the fact that feedparser asks for one doesn't mean it gets one. I figured it out in the end.

That's all I can think of for the planet_ causing any issues. Do you have an old version of the Universal Feed Parser installed in your site-packages folder?
