Ah, yes ! Things change ! :-)

BeautifulSoup feed() method used to exist before 3.0.0, and was left
over to SGMLParser later. As explained in the changlog,

http://www.crummy.com/software/BeautifulSoup/CHANGELOG.html

Release 3.0.0 (2006/05/28), "Who would not give all else for two p"

Beautiful Soup no longer implements a feed method. You need to pass a
string or a filehandle into the soup constructor, not with feed after
the soup has been created. There is still a feed method, but it's the
feed method implemented by SGMLParser and calling it will bypass
Beautiful Soup and cause problems.

Thanks for all the help !
