rss2producer

This package provides a Python script with an extremely simple class for generating an RSS 2.0 feed. With just a couple lines of Python code, your script can create an RSS 2.0 feed and add items to it.

Installation

You can install rss2producer via PIP using the following command:

pip install rss2producer

Usage

Once installed, you can import the RSS2Feed class with the following line:

from rss2producer import RSS2Feed

To create a feed, simply use the RSS2Feed constructor:

feed = RSS2Feed(
    title='A Simple Title',
    link='http://example.org',
    description='A longer description of the feed contents.'
)

After the feed is created, you can add items with the append_item method:

feed.append_item(
    title='Sample Item',
    link='http://example.org/sample-item',
    description='A longer description of the sample item.',
    pub_date=datetime.utcnow()
)

At a minimum, title or description must be included; all other parameters are optional. The pub_date parameter can be either a datetime instance or a UTC timestamp.

When all of the items have been added to the feed, the XML contents can be obtained with:

feed.get_xml()
