rawdog RSS reader (not working yet)
So I was trying to find a good RSS reader for my Kindle, and I found rawdog. It is a python program that uses pymodules?? I have some of the work done, I don't know how to get the path right to call python and have the modules in place? If there is anyone with some skills in this, I would appreciate your looking at it!
I have 2 test feeds in the config file - lifehacker and instructables. you can easily add more or less even from a command line. With some massaging of the style.css file, the output could be customized to show the html output better. I also am trying to show the output file in the default browser using the lipc..browser.. file:///... format, but that isn't working right either?

Everything's pure python, so you can do it from the Kindle itself. No need to play with the env/paths, the latest Python package handles everything, and symlinks python in the default PATH.
* Install setuptools: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/setupto...n-instructions * Install feedparser: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/feedparser * Install rawdog: http://offog.org/code/rawdog/ (If you're unfamiliar with python modules, the install procedure is usually Code:
python setup.py install (Well, you might want to D/L the tarballs yourself, and push them on your device manually, unless you have a decent wget/curl in your PATH). Code:
[root@kindle us]# /mnt/us/python/bin/rawdog --help rawdog, version 2.17 Last edited by NiLuJe; 09-11-2013 at 12:26 PM. |

Thank you! You are definately the 'Python Master'!
edit: all installed fine. AWESOME! Now I can try some other python stuff maybe? Now - when I get an html file of the feeds, I have no great way to open the browser and read it. I can: - create a bookmark to the file - use a different browser (skipstone or elinks or ??) - convert html to txt or pdf or mobi What would YOU do? I can't get this to install: pyrite-publisher http://ftp.acc.umu.se/mirror/cdimage....1.orig.tar.gz which should allow me to convert the html to a .prc or .mobi file?

I can't make feeds download, but I've seen that the showfeed.sh script contains an error: it must run this code to open the downloaded feed in the browser: lipc-set-prop -s com.lab126.appmgrd start app://com.lab126.browser?view=file:///...
