* Support for Atom 1.0. * Support for iTunes extensions. * Support for dc:contributor. * Universal Feed Parser now captures the feed's namespaces. See Namespace Handling for details. * Lots of things have been renamed to match Atom 1.0 terminology. issued is now entries[i].published, modified is now entries[i].updated, and url is now href everywhere. You can still access these elements with the old names, so you shouldn't need to change any existing code, but don't be surprised if you can't find them during debugging. * category and categories have been replaced by tags, see feed.tags and entries[i].tags. The old names still work. * mode is gone from all detail and content dictionaries. It was never terribly useful, since Universal Feed Parser unescapes content automatically. * entries[i].source is now a dictionary of feed metadata as per section 4.2.11 of RFC 4287. Universal Feed Parser no longer supports the RSS 2.0's source element. * Content in unknown namespaces is no longer discarded (bug 993305) * Lots of other bug fixes.

Universal Feed Parser is a Python module for downloading and parsing
|
|
syndicated feeds. It can handle RSS 0.90, Netscape RSS 0.91, Userland
|
|
RSS 0.91, RSS 0.92, RSS 0.93, RSS 0.94, RSS 1.0, RSS 2.0, Atom 0.3,
|
|
Atom 1.0, and CDF feeds. It also parses several popular extension
|
|
modules, including Dublin Core and Apple's iTunes extensions.
|
|
|
|
To use Universal Feed Parser, you will need Python 2.1 or later.
|
|
Universal Feed Parser is not meant to run standalone; it is a module
|
|
for you to use as part of a larger Python program.
|
|
|
|
Universal Feed Parser is easy to use; the module is self-contained
|
|
in a single file, feedparser.py, and it has one primary public
|
|
function, parse. parse takes a number of arguments, but only one
|
|
is required, and it can be a URL, a local filename, or a raw string
|
|
containing feed data in any format.
