Hi,

feedparser.py is not a Python standard library. So, if it feedparser is located in a non-standard folder you have at least the following two options:
1. Update the PYTHONPATH environment variable such that it includes the path the installation location of feedparser.py

2. Add the path to feedparser.py directly in the script that uses it. Something like the following:
import sys
sys.path.append("path to feedparser.py")

import feedparser
