Using Python to get push notifications from an RSS feed?

As a little project for myself (and to help get immediate player notes for my fantasy baseball team), I'm wondering what modules I might need to do this. Basically, I'd like to get immediate notification when a new player note has been added to an RSS feed. Since it will only be for specified p

I'm using Beautiful Soup to extract some song information from a radio station's website that lists the songs it plays as it plays them. Getting the time that the song is played is easy, because the time is wrapped in a tag all by itself with a class attribute that has a specific value I can searc

How do web templates separate content and logic?

I've been doing some research on web templates, and even though I read that they help enforce the MVC pattern, I don't really understand how they are keeping content and logic separated. Layout is easy, it's just not there as far as I can see, and CSS can be used for that. But when you have a t

Mako vs. Cheetah?

I always have the desire to learn one thing well instead of split my attention between several options, so I'm trying to decide which of these two to start learning. Are there any particular things I should look at when deciding between them, in terms of features, for example? Do they do all th

One more socket programming question

I'm now experimenting with the SocketServer class. Originally I subclassed the StreamRequestHandler to make my own custom handler, but a result of this seems to be that the client socket closes after it has been used, instead of staying open. Just as a test, I decided to use BaseRequestHandler
