at [0] is what I am using for reading RSS/Atom feeds. I did my own im‐
plementation in Python because the other feedparsers are all doing too
much whistling and bell ringing. Just compare how I’m parsing the feeds
and what hacks others try to use.
There’s also the reason why it will stay in Python. With changing stan‐
dards and more dependencies on high‐level evaluation C isn’t fast enough
to adapt. Just keep the interfaces of your Python modules simple.
I am currently adding some converter scripts to Zeitungsschau because it
seems like there are still non‐converts to Atom.
It’s something I want to talk about at slcon this year, about a suckless
Python project.
Sincerely,
Christoph Lohmann
