This module can be used to generate podcast feeds in RSS format.
It is licensed under the terms of both, the FreeBSD license and the LGPLv3+. Choose the one which is more convenient for you. For more details have a look at license.bsd and license.lgpl.
More details about the project:
- Repository: https://github.com/lkiesow/python-feedgen
- Documentation: http://lkiesow.github.io/python-feedgen/
- Python Package Index: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/feedgen/
Currently, you'll need to clone this repository, and create a virtualenv and install lxml and dateutils.
To create a feed simply instantiate the Podcast class and insert some data::
>>> from feedgen.feed import Podcast
>>> fg = Podcast()
>>> fg.name('Some Testfeed')
>>> fg.author( {'name':'John Doe','email':'[email protected]'} )
>>> fg.website( href='http://example.com', rel='alternate' )
>>> fg.image('http://ex.com/logo.jpg')
>>> fg.description('This is a cool feed!')
>>> fg.website( href='http://larskiesow.de/test.atom')
>>> fg.language('en')
Note that for the methods which set fields that can occur more than once in a feed you can use all of the following ways to provide data:
- Provide the data for that element as keyword arguments
- Provide the data for that element as dictionary
- Provide a list of dictionaries with the data for several elements
Example::
>>> fg.contributor( name='John Doe', email='[email protected]' )
>>> fg.contributor({'name':'John Doe', 'email':'[email protected]'})
>>> fg.contributor([{'name':'John Doe', 'email':'[email protected]'}, ...])
- We do not follow the RSS recommendation to encode &, < and > using
hexadecimal character reference (eg.
<), simply because lxml provides no documentation on how to do that when using the text property.
