Needed: CLI RSS reader script
(1/1)
Redhat:
All,
Firstly - hi friends, sorry for the lengthy absence!
Right, down to business. I need a command line RSS reader, preferably with the following attributes:
* Python based, or at least as cross-platform as possible. Please, no perl!!
* I only need the title to be displayed, and maybe a URL.
* Nothing fancy, it doesn't need to run off a database and remember everything, just for instant alerts, much like twitter.
The idea is I need something to track high-activity RSS feeds, such as the digg feed, or reuters feed, or keyword feeds for google blog search etc..
I could write this myself, I guess, but it is a matter of time.
OK, sod it, I will have a go myself! Can anyone suggest a small, light, RSS lib for python? Thanks! :D :Thmbsup:

RSS is just XML. Use ElementTree. It is a standard module in 2.5.

Genius! Thanks. I'll begin tapping away - it just seemed to me that RSS readers are geared towards reading feeds like email, no quick notifications within one sentence.
Fingers crossed!
