The feed framework looks at the attribute called "pubdate" to determine the publication date for items. Your attribute is called "pub_date", so ti isn't being examined. Simplest solution here is to add a pubdate() method or property to your model that returns the value of self.pub_date. I suspect you cannot put the simpler and more obvious "pubdate = pub_date" in your model because the model managers will think there is an extra database field when it is creating the model class (although I may be wrong). If you are needing to debug things like this in the future, one place to look for a lot of information is in django/utils/feedgenerator.py. That is where the feeds are constructed, so you can see which attributes the feed class is looking for when creating particular items. It looks like you are just using the default setup, so your feed will be using the Rss201rev2Feed class in that file. Look in the write_items() method for the code that writes out each thing returned from your items() function.
