pymailfeed

Update: I've fixed arch.translucentcode.org and I've stuck a tarball here.

Inspired by Ted Leung's request for a python equivalent to the handy mailfeed, I've thrown together a rough cut at an app. Currently it's commandline but there is nothing stopping it being wrapped by a CGI (in fact I'll write one if I get a chance).

You can grab it from my arch repository using:

$ tla register-archive \
http://arch.translucentcode.org/archives/\
mick@translucentcode.org--2004-projects
$ tla get mick@translucentcode.org--2004-projects/\
pymailfeed--mainline--0.1 pymailfeed--mainline--0.1

(usual proviso about line wrapping with \)

The python standard library is quite good, using it's imaplib, nntplib and email modules I can readily map USENET or IMAP messages to feed items, and using pygenx I can easily output RSS 1.0, RSS 2.0 and Atom 0.3.
