Besides an author, each Atom feed or entry can have an arbitrary number of contributors. Universal Feed Parser makes these available as a list.

Example: Accessing contributors
>>> import feedparser >>> d = feedparser.parse('http://feedparser.org/docs/examples/atom10.xml') >>> e = d.entries[0] >>> len(e.contributors) 2 >>> e.contributors[0] {'name': u'Joe', 'href': u'http://example.org/joe/', 'email': u'joe@example.org'} >>> e.contributors[1] {'name': u'Sam', 'href': u'http://example.org/sam/', 'email': u'sam@example.org'}
Besides an alternate link, each Atom feed or entry can have an arbitrary number of other links. Each link is distinguished by its type attribute, which is a MIME-style content type, and its rel attribute.

Example: Accessing multiple links
>>> import feedparser >>> d = feedparser.parse('http://feedparser.org/docs/examples/atom10.xml') >>> e = d.entries[0] >>> len(e.links) 4 >>> e.links[0] {'rel': u'alternate', 'type': u'text/html', 'href': u'http://example.org/entry/3'} >>> e.links[1] {'rel': u'related', 'type': u'text/html', 'href': u'http://search.example.com/'} >>> e.links[2] {'rel': u'via', 'type': u'text/html', 'href': u'http://toby.example.com/examples/atom10'} >>> e.links[3] {'rel': u'enclosure', 'type': u'video/mpeg4', 'href': u'http://www.example.com/movie.mp4', 'length': u'42301'}
