RSS Aggregator

[beetlecube]

Hello,
Just wondering if there are alternatives to the feedjack RSS
aggregator that anyone has used. It doesn't have to be "Django-ized"
like feedjack is.

Just any Python library that you've had good luck with, parsing a lot
of different RSS feeds. I know there are examples of using Mark
Pilgrim's feedparser with an aggregator tool, on his site. Was
thinking of just using that.

Thanks,
Steve

Try Django-planet: http://github.com/matagus/django-planet

I add the following line     'django.contrib.admin', in INSTALLED_APPS
and the following line in urls.py

..
from django.contrib import admin
admin.autodiscover()

....
    (r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),


but i give an error to access to admin page.
Why?

I spent some time with feedjack and django-planet last year and came
to the same conclusion - writing your own system with feedparser is
the way to go, in combination with the source that drives the
Community section of the djangoproject web site.

http://birdhouse.org/blog/2009/10/20/generating-rss-mashups-from-django/

"The surprising solution came from the Community section of the
official Django project web site. The Django developers keep the code
that drives djangoproject.com in subversion along with the source code
to Django itself. And the code that drives that section of the site is
really lightweight. So I did a subversion checkout of the Aggregator
app, and found that all I really needed from it was its
update_feeds.py script, which itself is a wrapper around Universal
Feed Parser, tweaked to talk to my own models."

That became the system behind http://baynewsnetwork.org/ , which is an
RSS aggregator / mashup generator.

Scott, Ofri, thanks.

I realized early this morning, I will need to just use the Universal
Parser un-adorned, because of the customized ways I have to do
things.

I'm working on a Universal Feed Parser-based library to create
aggregators. The idea is that the process of parsing a feed and syncing
it's items with a database can be customized by various addins:

http://github.com/miracle2k/feedplatform

It mostly works already, though it lacks the polishing for a release.
You'll probably find yourself spending some time with the source code if
you decide to try it.

Your project looks pretty kick-ass. Thanks for pointing me out to
that. I may just seek out this code while working on my site.
