hello,

It seems there a unicode problem when running feeds2disk on MacOs.
With python 2.3 or 2.6, i have :

Quote:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/Applications/calibre.app/Contents/Resources/loaders/feeds2disk.py", line 9, in <module>
main()
File "/Applications/calibre.app/Contents/Resources/lib/python2.6/site-packages.zip/calibre/web/feeds/main.py", line 164, in main
File "/Applications/calibre.app/Contents/Resources/lib/python2.6/site-packages.zip/calibre/web/feeds/main.py", line 152, in run_recipe
File "calibre/web/feeds/news.pyo", line 567, in download
File "calibre/web/feeds/news.pyo", line 689, in build_index
File "calibre/utils/terminfo.pyo", line 191, in update
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xe9' in position 88: ordinal not in range(128)

and python 3.0 do not work anymore :

Quote:

File "/usr/bin/feeds2disk", line 24
os.chmod(loader_path, 0700)
^
SyntaxError: invalid token

So i am obliged tu run windows emulator...

Otherwise, i am working on a recipe for the site http://www.lefigaro.fr/rss/
and i have a question.

The links provided in the rss in the different categories are like:
http://site.article.php so i used the followings code with success

Quote:

def print_version(self, url):
return url.replace('.php', '.php?mode=imprimer')

But i have a problem with the headline category "Actualites" which contain fresh news.
the links are : http://site.AZEEarticle.htm with a redirection to the real link
http://site.article.php
So, feeds2disk grab the second link, but the "return url.replace('.php', '.php?mode=imprimer')" does not work because it is applied on the first htm link

Any idea to apply a replacement on the second url?

Thanks

The unicode error will hopefully be fixed in the next release (i cant replicate it). calibre does not support python 3.0. As for your redirect problem, the simplest solution is to use self.rower in the print_version method to visit the wensite. it will be redirected and you can get the new URL from that.

Has anyone worked up a recipe for US News yet? If so, would certainly appreciate it. --John

Hey... you are great! Thank you very much... now it works!!!

rc006 · 04-29-2009, 08:30 AM

ok thanks,
I have not found how to use "self.rower" in print_version, so i grep the the real link from "send link to" url

Quote:

def get_article_url(self, article):
if 'link' in article:
url = article.get('link', None)

if 'guid' in article:
texte = article.get('description', None)
texte = texte[texte.find('link=')+5:]
url = texte[0:texte.find('"')]
return url

I have "solved" the problem for "Le figaro", but for the web site "Les Echos" i think i really need to use the function you mentioned because the "printed version" is called from the html page with a link "http://lesechos.fr/imprimer.php"

When you say it stopped working, what do you mean?

EDIT: nevermind found the bug (it was in conversion to MOBI will be fixed in next release)

kiklop74 · 05-01-2009, 03:31 PM

I can report that it works fine on my machine. You probably have internet connection issues or somehow calibre got corrupted.

The IHT seems to have become the New York Times Global Edition and I would appreciate it if someone can set up a recipe for this revised link.
Many thanks.

I know this is not a news feed, but I've been trying for ages to create a recipe that will pull the HTML version of this great book (Without Hot Air - David MacKay). The key 250 pages of it are available here:

Really appreciate it.
