Trying to write a recipe for Aeon.com

[FacetiousKnave]

My coding skills are rather deplorable.

I might have re-written this code 50 times but it never works.

The recipe should be quite simple. These are the premises.

1. RSS FEED source: https://aeon.co/feed.rss
2. Exclude "videos".
3. Output EPUB

PHP Code:

import re

from calibre.ebooks.conversion.plumber import Plumber
from calibre.web.feeds.recipes import BasicNewsRecipe

class AeonRecipe(BasicNewsRecipe):
    title = 'Aeon'
    __author__ = 'FacetiousKnave'
    description = 'This recipe fetches articles from Aeon and outputs an EPUB file'
    use_embedded_content = False
    remove_tags = [
        dict(name='iframe')
    ]

    def parse_index(self):
        items = self.index_to_soup('https://aeon.co/feed.rss').find_all('item')
        for item in items:
            title = item.title.text
            if 'video' not in title.lower():
                url = item.link.text
                date = item.pubdate.text
                self.add_article(title, url, date, text=self.fetch_article(url))
                
    def postprocess_html(self, soup, first_fetch):
        # Remove unwanted tags
        for tag in self.remove_tags:
            for t in soup.find_all(**tag):
                t.decompose()
        return soup 


What am I doing wrong?

just use 'create basic news recipe' and add feed.. it does everything for you. Why parse?
add this if you want to remove video articles.. do you specifically want to remove articles with 'videos' in title only?

    def print_version(self, url):
        if '/videos/' in url:
            return ''
        else:
            return url

this works. removing video articles is unnecessary, you could just skip over to next article.

#!/usr/bin/env python
# vim:fileencoding=utf-8
from calibre.web.feeds.news import BasicNewsRecipe

class AdvancedUserRecipe673238347(BasicNewsRecipe):
    title          = 'Aeon'
    oldest_article = 30
    max_articles_per_feed = 100
    auto_cleanup   = True

    feeds          = [
        ('aeon', 'https://aeon.co/feed.rss'),
    ]
    
    def print_version(self, url):
        if '/videos/' in url:
            return ''
        else:
            return url
