[Zope] rss

[Kevin Teague]

I'm setting up some rss feeds, and I've just used the Site Summary
product from here:
 
http://www.zope.org/Members/edmundd/SiteSummary

With Site Summary you can use the importRSS method to pull in a channel.
I use a modified version of this script running on a cron job to update
the rss channels:

http://www.zope.org/Members/phd/cron-zope/pack-db_fs

The script looks like this (it's still kind of hack-ish, but it works
:). My only problem now is to figure out how to have member preferences
handle a list of rss channels with the PTK.


#!/usr/bin/python

username="kteague"
password="******"
zope="http://www.evileggs.org/"

import sys, urllib, re

class NoGUIURLopener(urllib.FancyURLopener):
   def __init__(self, username, password, *args):
      apply(urllib.FancyURLopener.__init__, (self,) + args)

      self.username = username
      self.password = password
      self.asked = 0

   def prompt_user_passwd(self, host, realm):
      if self.asked:
         raise "Unauthorized"
      else:
         self.asked = 1
         return self.username, self.password


channel_id = ""
rss_url = ""

try:
    f = open("channellist.txt")
except:
   print 'Could not open the channellist.txt file.'
lines = f.readlines()
f.close()

for line in lines:
    if re.search('^\n$', line):
        continue
    m = re.search('(.*?)\s+(.*)', line)
    try:
        (channel_id, rss_url) = m.groups()
    except:
        print 'Can not properly parse line:\n%s' % (line)
        continue
    urllib._urlopener = NoGUIURLopener(username, password)
    urllib.urlretrieve("%s/rss/%s/importRSS?url=%s" % (zope, channel_id,
rss_url))



==================
And the 'channellist.txt' text file just has the Zope id's of the Site
Summary objects and the rss channel URLs, like so:
