Python parser for microformats 2.
Current status: Full-featured and mostly stable. Implements the full mf2 spec, including backward compatibility with microformats1.
Tom Morris: Please do help work on it. Currently I'm just writing test cases as we implement stuff and TDDing to completion. Once the parser is stable, I intend to import one of the full test suites.
Will eventually need good documentation and tidying up.

pip install mf2py
Import the parser using
import mf2py
Parse a file containing the content
with open('file/content.html','r') as file:
obj = mf2py.parse(doc=file)
Parse string containing content
content = '<article class="h-entry"><h1 class="p-name">Hello</h1></article>'
obj = mf2py.parse(doc=content)
Parse content from a URL
obj = mf2py.parse(url="http://tommorris.org/")
parse is a convenience method that actually delegates to
mf2py.Parser to do the real work. More sophisticated behaviors are
available by invoking the object directly.
Get parsed microformat in a variety of formats
p = mf2py.Parser(...)
p.to_dict() # returns a python dictionary
p.to_json() # returns a JSON string
Filter by microformat type
p.to_dict(filter_by_type="h-entry")
p.to_json(filter_by_type="h-entry")
