OK! The story so far ... You wanted to parse an RSS feed and wanted a simple library. You tried Amara. The binary installer had a problem. Not sure what was the issue with installing the source via distutils.
Since you have way too many options to do this, it is probably better to switch to another module for now. ElementTree is another good module http://effbot.org/downloads/elementtree-1.2.6-20050316.win32.exe Following is a snippet of code that probably does what you want. You should be able to extend it from there. You might want to read this before you finish your aggregator. http://diveintopython.org/http_web_services/review.html Basically some netiquette when you repeatedly poll someone's server. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- from elementtree import ElementTree as ET from urllib import urlopen rss = ET.parse(urlopen('http://www.digg.com/rss/index.xml')) title = rss.find('//channel/title').text articles = [item.find('title').text for item in rss.findall('//channel/item')] -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
