Upgraded to 1.95.1 which is current.
Still no joy.
It doesn't appear that curly brace notation will work for generating
RSS feeds or I am doing something wrong.
>From the book here is the example:
def feed():
return dict(title="my feed",
link="http://feed.example.com";,
description="my first feed",
entries=[
dict(title="my feed",
link="http://feed.example.com";,
description="my first feed")
])
Here is my test of the same with curly brace notation:
def feed():
a = dict()
a = { "title":"my feed",
"link":"http://feed.example.com";,
"description":"my first feed",
"entries":{'title':"my feed",
"link":"http://feed.example.com";,
"description":"my first feed"
}
}
return a
The html result of the curly brace test is a correctly parsed
dictionary in html format.
The rss result is:
RSS error<!--
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
//--

After striping the try/except from generic.rss I found this traceback:
Traceback (most recent call last):

first feed', 'link': 'http://feed.example.com', 'title': 'my feed'},

My version of web2py:
Version 1.95.1 (2011-04-25 15:04:14)
web2py is up to date
