Feedparser-basics how to

Question

I'm very new to Feedparser and have returned to Python after a long break so would appreciate any help. I've tried the docs, which are very good, but I'm still slightly lagging.

How would I get Feedparser to take an rss feed and from that get the title and description of the first 10 items and label each item independently so that they can be inserted anywhere into other code? ie. I could just use the title of the first and second items with descriptions from others?

Hope that makes sense! Any help much appreciated

Answer 1

import feedparser
f = feedparser.parse('http://domain/feed')
# f contains a dictionary key 'entries'
# entries is a list of dictionaries with 'title' and 'content' keys
for e in f['entries']:
    print e.get('title', '')
    print e.get('summary', '')

Hope that helps.
