Why not? What happens when you try?

data[x] should be the same object as item, no? If you want to keep track of
the current iteration index, a cleaner way to do that is by using enumerate:
for x, item in enumerate(soup.find_all('item')):
As far as printing the pubDate goes, why not start by getting its text
property as you do with the other tags? From there you can either print the
string out directly or parse it into a datetime object.
