# This example reads a given RSS or Atom newsfeed channel.
# Some example feeds to try out:
NATURE = "http://feeds.nature.com/nature/rss/current"
SCIENCE = "http://www.sciencemag.org/rss/podcast.xml"
NYT = "http://rss.nytimes.com/services/xml/rss/nyt/GlobalHome.xml"

print result.url
print result.date

# News item URL's lead to the page with the full article.
# This page can have any kind of formatting.
# There is no default way to read it.
# But we could just download the source HTML and convert it to plain text:
#html = URL(result.url).download()
#print plaintext(html)
# The resulting text may contain a lot of garbage.
# A better way is to use a DOM parser to select the HTML elements we want.
# This is demonstrated in one of the next examples.
