Parse Atom and RSS feeds in Python.
Installation
feedparser can be installed by running pip:
$ pip install feedparser
Documentation
The feedparser documentation is available on the web at:
It is also included in its source format, ReST, in the docs/ directory. To build the documentation you’ll need the Sphinx package, which is available at:
You can then build HTML pages using a command similar to:
$ sphinx-build -b html docs/ fpdocs
This will produce HTML documentation in the fpdocs/ directory.
Testing
Feedparser has an extensive test suite, powered by tox. To run it, type this:
$ python -m venv venv
$ source venv/bin/activate # or "venv\bin\activate.ps1" on Windows
(venv) $ pip install -r requirements-dev.txt
(venv) $ tox
This will spawn an HTTP server that will listen on port 8097. The tests will fail if that port is in use.
