You could also write a class, let's say RSSEntry, with attributes like "read", "title", "author", "content", "date" and everything you need. Another class-way would be some class like RSSFeed, being a container holding entries like RSSFeed[0] RSSFeed[1] etc., each again with attributes like RSSFeed[0].author. Those class instances can be pickle'd easily, so you don't have to bother about any database or stuff. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
