It is the weirdest thing. I was having issues subscribing to blogs that is using pubsubhubbub.appspot.com using a Python script. It returned a 500 Internal Server error without fail. So I rewrote the process in PHP and like magic, it is gone… I used PHP and CURL to subscribe to the appspot service. In Python I used the urllib2 library. Somewhere in the back of my mind I vaguely remember appspot not liking urllib2, but I haven’t really checked due to time constraints. I’ll have a look soon, but if you’re going to use Python to subscribe to feeds, I would suggest trying to do so with CURL.
The good news is that all is good on Afrigator now. All blogs that are using some form of Pubsubhubbub service will be realtime in no time.
If you’re running on WordPress (not WordPress.com) and you have not yet installed PuSHPress, please do so soon!

Strange, i’m getting the exact same errors (momentarily for all feeds on the appspot hub). I posted a message in the pubsubhubbub discussion group: http://groups.google.com/group/pubsubhubbub

I may be wrong, but I think it has got to do with using urllib2. Try using cURL http://pycurl.sourceforge.net/ That should work.
