Share your LibPRS Python RSS Feeds and where to obtain more feed links!
I was able to download and use the CNN python feed and use it, and now I'm hooked. If you have created python scripts post them here! Also, what is a good site in order to get RSS feeds? I'm having the hardest of times finding XML URLs.

I have the other problem - lots of xml feeds, but I can't work out how to get LibPRS to import them. It uses the feed url but retrieves a blank html page. This for example: http://norightturn.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default

That's because it doesn't yet have explicit support for ATOM feeds, only RSS. You should open a ticket for support for ATOM.

I've just done that now, thanks.

I'm also trying to scrape http://www.smh.com.au/text but web2disk hangs trying to parse it, I assume in the javascript at the end? LibPrs just returns the blank page that I've grown used to.

Use --verbose to see what link it is hanging on and then use --filter-regexps to disable fetching of that link. But really you should write a profile for SMH using the RSS feeds.

OK, trying to write a profile, but really struggling. I get one of two things: a blank document, or the script hangs.

from libprs500.ebooks.lrf.web.profiles import DefaultProfile
import re

class SMH(DefaultProfile):

title = 'SMH'
max_recursions = 2
oldest_article = 1
no_stylesheets = True

preprocess_regexps = \
[ (re.compile(i[0], re.IGNORECASE | re.DOTALL), i[1]) for i in
[
# Remove links to homepage
(r'<P>[ <a href="/">SMH</a> ]</P>', lambda match : ''),
# and business pages
(r'<p><a href="http://business.smh.com.au.*', lambda match : ''),
]
]

def get_feeds(self):
return [ ('SMH', 'http://smh.com.au/text') ]

get_feeds has to return a list of RSS feeds not a website. THat would be the list of feeds from here
http://www.smh.com.au/rsschannels/

For example
http://feeds.smh.com.au/rssheadlines/top.xml

Thanks for your help Despite the incessant questions I really do appreciate it. The RSS feeds from the SMH are not what I want - that's why I'm trying to get the text version of the site. The text version is more complete and easier to de-format.

OK, what I want is this:
web2lrf --verbose --match-regexp=/text --url=http://smh.com.au/text --output=smh default
web2lrf --verbose --match-regexp=/text --url=http://theage.com.au/text --output=theage default

Yippee! I assume there's some way to add those to the news sources in the GUI, I'll look at that when I get home.

OK, another python regexp question: is there some way to say "ignore everything from the "<h3>Business</h3>" line to the "<H3>Columns</H3>" line? I spent last night reading instead of working on this, so I'm no further along.

Also, does bribery work with which features get implemented? And if so, how much?

Code:
re.compile('<h3>Business</h3>.*?<h3>Columns</h3>', re.DOTALL|re.IGNORECASE)
As for bribery, I'm always susceptible to the lure of lucre, but as for how much, that depends on what the feature is

I'm eyeing up the ATOM blogs.

Having successfully ripped two newspapers that I read most days I'm now all excited and want to read blogs too. I'm also starting the big conversion of all the random books and articles I've downloaded over the years and that's going pretty well. Albeit slowly at times - am I right to assume that the lack of progress indication during conversions is because there's nothing coming back from the converter rather than because you want to taunt me? A 1000-page lrf file came out of one of the html conversions but it took a very long time (and cpu usage was minimal).

So yeah, libprf is proving very useful so I'm definitely going to donate, I'm just tempted to make it $100 instead of $20 in the hope that ATOM will arrive as magically as all the other help that I've received For comparison, now that I've got my "lying in the hammock reading and listening to music" process established, I've also ordered an 8GB memory stick for ~$US120. According to my housemates I look really, really dorky wandering round with a giant mp3 player but I don't care.

Weeel I probably shouldn't say this, but I'm in the process of refactoring web2lrf and the new version will support a whole bunch of feed formats, as well as sundry other improvements. And you shouldn't have a conversion that hangs around doing nothing for a long time.

Ok, I'm playing with profiles and wondering how I actually create a profile for the command line web2lrf. Since the newspapers I want are html rather than feeds, I can't have them as news sources but I suspect I need to compile the profile before can use it?

I'm also not sure of the difference between user profiles and feed profiles as far as the command line goes.

Aha, thanks for that. I've got it to the point of giving me a object not iterable error but I'm sure I will eventually puzzle that out. In the meantime I've dumped some error reports onto your website
