Is there an opensource Python tool for creating RSS feeds, that doesn't
require large dependencies?
I found feedformatter.py on pypi, but it seems a little old, and its sole
automated test gives a traceback.
Is there a better starting point?
(I'd of course prefer something that'll run on 3.x and 2.x, but will settle
for either)
I'd just go with ElementTree and builder.py.
http://effbot.org/zone/element-builder.htm
http://effbot.python-hosting.com/file/stuff/sandbox/elementlib/builder.py
Hmm, interesting, that last link doesn't seem to work for me anymore.
Here's a copy, however:
http://svn.effbot.org/public/stuff/sandbox/elementlib/builder.py
There's also an extended version for lxml.etree:
https://raw.github.com/lxml/lxml/master/src/lxml/builder.py
You'll quickly see if it works as expected with plain ET when you use it.
It should in general.
Building an RSS-API on top of that is so trivial that it's not worth any
further dependencies anyway. Not sure if this version of builder.py runs in
Py3, but it certainly won't be hard to fix even if it doesn't currently.
