A web feed is a data format used for providing users with frequently updated content.

A web feed is a data format used for providing users with frequently updated content.

A typical scenario of web feed use is:

  • a content provider publishes a feed link on their site which end users can register with an aggregator program (also called a feed reader or a news reader) running on their own machines;
  • doing this is usually as simple as dragging the link from the web browser to the aggregator. When instructed, the aggregator asks all the servers in its feed list if they have new content;
  • if so, the aggregator either makes a note of the new content or downloads it. Aggregators can be scheduled to check for new content periodically. Web feeds are an example of pull technology, although they may appear to push content to the user.

Python 3.1 RSS Parser?

Anyone know of a good feed parser for python 3.1? I was using feedparser for 2.5 but it doesn't seem to be ported to 3.1 yet, and it's apparently more complicated than just running 2to3.py on it. Any help?
