No, you _really_ don't.
If you were python-capable, you would have been able to extrapolate
from the example I gave above to answer your own question:
> Can't i get just the first three[ items?]
channel.findall('item') returns a _list_...so
channel.findall('item')[:3] would give you the first 3 elements of that
list....like it does with _every_ list.
This isn't an issue with feedparser, this is a _fundamental behaviour
of python sequences_. How many elements you take from a list and how
you store & handle those elements doesn't have _anything_ to do with
feedparser in this instance.
This is all covered in section 8.2 ("Accessing lists") in the "Think
Like a Computer Scientist" tutorial (@
http://www.ibiblio.org/obp/thinkCSpy/) that you finished "long
ago"...I'm surprised you didn't come across it.
