# rss2sample.py -- generate the rss2sample.xml file with rssfeed.py
#
# This will write a file called rss2sample.tmp, which should be
# identical to the included rss2sample.xml file.
#
# This example is taken from here:
# http://media-cyber.law.harvard.edu/blogs/gems/tech/rss2sample.xml
#
# The differences are only:
#     a) I changed the indenting from 3 spaces to 1 tab per indent.
#     b) I changed the order in which a few lines appear, to match what
#         rssfeed.py does by default.
