Is there anything in the Django / Python world equivalent to SimplePie Plugin for Wordpress?

I know that SimplePie itself is derived from UFP, but the features I'm wondering about are the post-processing features that are available in SimplePie for WordPress plugin:

Can I find something similar to this for my Django application?

Can this be accomplished using Django inclusion tags?
