Hi, I'm new around here... I'm a Python hobbyist, and I'm far from being a professional programmer, so please be patient with me...
I'm working on my first Python program: a curses based RSS Aggregator. It's basically a clone of snownews, one of my very favorite programs. But I want to add some funcionality. Whenever you update a feed in snownews, it loses all previous topics, even though you may not have read them, it only keeps the current topics. I want my program to actually aggregate feeds. Also, I want to make it able to read atom feeds, which is easy since I'm using feedparser. I see that liferea keeps a cache file for each feed it downloads, storing all of it's topics. I'm doing the same here. A question: how do I tell my program that a certain entry was/wasn't downloaded yet? Should I use the date or link tag of the entry? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
