<p>This module can be used to generate web feeds in both ATOM and RSS format. It
|
||
has support for extensions. Included is for example an extension to produce Podcasts.</p>
|
||
<p>It is licensed under the terms of both, the FreeBSD license and the LGPLv3+.

<h2><a class="toc-backref" href="#id5">Add Feed Entries</a><a class="headerlink" href="#add-feed-entries" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
|
||
<p>To add entries (items) to a feed you need to create new FeedEntry objects and
|
||
append them to the list of entries in the FeedGenerator. The most convenient
|
||
way to go is to use the FeedGenerator itself for the instantiation of the
|
||
FeedEntry object:</p>

|
||
</pre></div>
|
||
</div>
|
||
<p>The FeedGenerators method <cite>add_entry(…)</cite> without argument provides will
|
||
automatically generate a new FeedEntry object, append it to the feeds internal
|
||
list of entries and return it, so that additional data can be added.</p>
|
||
</div>
|
||
<div class="section" id="extensions">
|
||
<h2><a class="toc-backref" href="#id6">Extensions</a><a class="headerlink" href="#extensions" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
|
||
<p>The FeedGenerator supports extension to include additional data into the XML
|
||
structure of the feeds. Extensions can be loaded like this:</p>
|
||
<div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="gp">>>> </span><span class="n">fg</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">load_extension</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s1">'someext'</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="n">atom</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="kc">True</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="n">rss</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="kc">True</span><span class="p">)</span>
|
||
</pre></div>
|
||
</div>
|
||
<p>This will try to load the extension “someext” from the file <cite>ext/someext.py</cite>.
|
||
It is required that <cite>someext.py</cite> contains a class named “SomextExtension” which
|
||
is required to have at least the two methods <cite>extend_rss(…)</cite> and
|
||
<cite>extend_atom(…)</cite>. Although not required, it is strongly suggested to use
|
||
<cite>BaseExtension</cite> from <cite>ext/base.py</cite> as superclass.</p>
|
||
<p><cite>load_extension(‘someext’, …)</cite> will also try to load a class named
|
||
“SomextEntryExtension” for every entry of the feed. This class can be located
|
||
either in the same file as SomextExtension or in <cite>ext/someext_entry.py</cite> which
|
||
is suggested especially for large extensions.</p>
|
||
<p>The parameters <cite>atom</cite> and <cite>rss</cite> control if the extension is used for ATOM and
|
||
RSS feeds, respectively. The default value for both parameters is <cite>true</cite>
|
||
meaning the extension is used for both kinds of feeds.</p>
|
||
<p><strong>Example: Producing a Podcast</strong></p>
|
||
<p>One extension already provided is the podcast extension. A podcast is an RSS
|
||
feed with some additional elements for ITunes.</p>
|
||
<p>To produce a podcast simply load the <cite>podcast</cite> extension:</p>

|
||
<p>Of cause the extension has to be loaded for the FeedEntry objects as well but
|
||
this is done automatically by the FeedGenerator for every feed entry if the
|
||
extension is loaded for the whole feed. You can, however, load an extension for
|
||
a specific FeedEntry by calling <cite>load_extension(…)</cite> on that entry. But this
|
||
is a rather uncommon use.</p>
|
||
<p>You can still produce a normal ATOM or RSS feed, even if you have loaded some
|
||
plugins by temporary disabling them during the feed generation. This can be
|
||
done by calling the generating method with the keyword argument <cite>extensions</cite>
|
||
set to <cite>False</cite>.</p>
|
||
<p><strong>Custom Extensions</strong></p>
|
||
<p>If you want to load custom extension which are not part of the feedgen Python
|
||
package, you can use the method <cite>register_extension</cite> instead. You can directly
|
||
pass the classes for the feed and the entry extension to this method meaning
|
||
that you can define them everywhere.</p>
