RSS Jabber Bot

Posted in Developement by n00k on the April 4th, 2007

This bot allows you to subscribe to RSS feeds and create add feeds if they doesn’t already exist. It will send you a jabber message when a new entry is made in a feed you subscribed to.

I have written the base of this bot a few weeks ago. But now I have ported it from files to mysql and did some minor design changes. The previous version had some bugs, which I hope were raised, because of race conditions while reading and writing files. It happened more than once, that the feeder did send a complete feed again. Hopefully this is resolved now. The broadcaster previously released bases mainly upon this bot.

The source can be found here. You will need the xmpp and feedparser modules for Python. Again, feel free to edit and/or use the code. If you implement some fancy new features or find any bugs and security issues, please contact me.

    Hi david,

    sorry for taking me so long to answer.
    Nice to see someone is interested :)
    There have been made some improvements in the code which will be updated In the near future, which should definitely get into the package, for stability reasons.
    Just contact me via jabber or email, both at nookieman (AT) hack0r (D0T) net.

    Очень приглянулась ваша статья, в ней замазано очень заметно затронуто с нашей общечеловеческой жизни и это даже хорошо! Есть над чем размыслить

    То что Вы черкаете в вашем web-дневнике, всечасно премило зачитывать! Удовлетворен новыми заметками, только впору несколько побольше иллюстраций в записях?! Просто так не плохо было бы куда симпатичнее зачитывать Ваш роскошный интернет-блог! С признанием, Ваш неумолчный чтец.

    Привет! Мне очень приятно перечитывать ваши пометки, стараюсь поплотнее навещать ваш веб-журнал, однако вы редко когда строчите. Которым образом можно доставать новости вашего блога на электронную-почту?
