This seems a bit strange to me: "a Python module that parses
subscription lists…and returns all of the feeds and subscription lists".
I think that this sentence should be rewritten to include the following
info from the upstream description "a dictionary will be returned with
several keys" (README.rst).

To summarise:  parses lists and returns a dict in OPML structured
format.

I'm concerned about the repetitive and ambiguous use of "lists" in the
Debian description.

Thanks,
Nicholas
