[Zope] Dictionary Key Error from Parsed RSS

[Tom Von Lahndorff]

shouldnt this prevent that?

def dictify(p):
     """
     Since the FeedParser returns a dictionary-like class instance,  
rather than
     a real dictionary, We must iterate through all nested instances  
and convert
     them to dicts to avoid security problems within Zope. I have no  
idea *why*
     feedparser doesn't just use real nested dicts in the first place.
     """
     newdict = {}
     if type(p) in [types.DictionaryType, types.InstanceType]:
         d = p # for clarity
         for k,v in d.items():
             newdict[k] = dictify(v)
     elif type(p) == types.ListType:
         l = p # for clarity
         for ss,v in zip(xrange(len(l)), l):
             l[ss] = dictify(v)
         return l
     else: return p
     return newdict
