RSS.py
Classes for working with RSS channels as arbitrary data structures.
Requires Python 2.2 or newer and PyXML 0.7.1 or newer.
ChannelBase - Base class for RSS Channels.
CollectionChannel - RSS Channel modeled as a URI-per-entry
dictionary.
TrackingChannel - RSS Channel modeled as an item-per-entry
dictionary.
RSSParser - Multi-format RSS/XML Parser.
Typically, the *Channel clases will be most useful to developers.
This library provides tools for working with RSS feeds as data
structures. The core is an RSS parser capable of understanding most
RSS formats, and a serializer that produces RSS1.0. The RSS channel
itself can be represented as any arbitrary data structure; two such
structures are provided both as examples and to service common
usage. This approach allows channels to be manipulated and stored in
a fashion that suits both their semantics and the applications that
access them.
Both the parser and the serializer have the following limitations:
- RSS 1.0 "rich content" modules are not supported
- RSS 0.9x features that rely on attributes are not supported
- RDF is not understood; this library does not expose statements or
understand RDF syntax beyond that documented in RSS1.0 (taking
into account the previously listed limitations)
The RSS format is made up of three metadata sections (channel,
image, and textinput) and a list of items. Each individual metadata
section and each item is passed around as an "item dictionary",
which is a Python dictionary with (namespace, localname) tuples as
keys. The values of the dictionaries are always strings; they may
contain markup, which will be rendered into the RSS/XML when
serialized.
Individual items are found by using an "item identifier"; this is a
channel-unique, string identifier for any given item. Item
identifiers may be generated in a variety of ways, depending on the
requirements of the channel.
Certain types of channel metadata are automatically generated, and
will not be returned or honored when accessed. They includes the
"items", "image" and "textinput" children of the channel element.
TODO:
- any markup (and the content inside) in item or metadata children
(e.g., HTML in a <description> will be silently ignored.
- test suite
- a function (XPath-based?) to detect a channel's type and return
the appropriate class.
- pay attention to <rss:items> when appropriate.
