for entry in feed.entries:
    article_title = entry.title
    article_link = entry.link
    article_published_at = entry.published # Unicode string
    article_published_at_parsed = entry.published_parsed # Time object
    article_author = entry.author
    print "{}[{}]".format(article_title, article_link)
    print "Published at {}".format(article_published_at)
    print "Published by {}".format(article_author)
