A python library to parse and generate RSS or atom feeds.

This module can:

• parse and generate RSS feeds
• parse and generate RDF (RSS v1.0) feeds (thanks to @inigoserna)
• parse and generate Atom feeds
• access standard fields via feed class and feed.item list
• preserve all data parsed, even in custom fields, when generating a RSS/Atom/RDF text
• read an url if requests is installed
• access non-standard fields via _data dict
• create arbitrary feed
• modify an existing feed

For RSS:

feed = feedendum.from_rss_file(file_path)
feed = feedendum.from_rss_text(txt)

For RDF (RSS v1.0):

feed = feedendum.from_rdf_file(file_path)
feed = feedendum.from_rdf_text(txt)

For Atom:

feed = feedendum.from_atom_file(file_path)
feed = feedendum.from_atom_text(txt)

Standard fields:

print("Title", feed.title)
print("First entry title", feed.items[0].title)

For other fields, not defined in Feed class:

print("Extra attributes in the feed", feed._data)
print("Extra attributes in the first entry", feed.items[0]._data)

For RSS:

feedendum.to_rss_string(feed)

For RDF (RSS v1.0):

feedendum.to_rdf_string(feed)

For Atom:

feedendum.to_atom_string(feed)
