Using the BasicNewsRecipe class outside calibre

[infinite_monkey]

I would like to create .mobi files of news feeds outside calibre using the BasicNewsRecipe class, i.e. writing standalone python code where calibre is imported as a module. Is this possible and is there a doc or an example around.

Appreciate any help. Thanks.

Not exactly what you're asking for but you can run recipe to mobi creation from the command line.

You can find examples here and further reading here.
