RSS

Once you’ve added all the information and episodes, you’re ready to take the final step:

rssfeed = p.rss_str()
# Print to stdout, just as an example
print(rssfeed)

If you’re okay with the default parameters of podgen.Podcast.rss_str(), you can use a shortcut by converting your Podcast to str:

rssfeed = str(p)
print(rssfeed)
# Or let print convert to str for you
print(p)

rss_str([minimize, encoding, xml_declaration])

Generate an RSS feed and return the feed XML as string.

You may also write the feed to a file directly, using podgen.Podcast.rss_file():

p.rss_file('rss.xml', minimize=True)

rss_file(filename[, minimize, encoding, …])

Generate an RSS feed and write the resulting XML to a file.

Note

If there are any mandatory attributes that aren’t set, you’ll get errors when generating the RSS.

Note

Generating the RSS is not completely free. Save the result to a variable once instead of generating the same RSS over and over.
