Universal Feed Formatter

Feedformatter has moved!

In mid-2009 I migrated all my major free software projects to the Google code open source project hosting service. The canonical webpage for feedformatter is now http://code.google.com/p/feedformatter. All future releases, documentation, etc. will be published at that page and not at this one, so please update your bookmarks!

Links to old pages associated with feedformatter 0.1 through 0.3 are maintained below for historical interest.

Old versions / History

The list below details all versions of feedformatter which have ever been

feedformatter 0.3 - March 4, 2008 (Download) (Website)

Renamed render_* methods to format_* - makes a bit more sense.
Use the standard library ElementTree if it's available, only use an external library if not. In either case, use cElementTree instead of the Python version if available - this should speed things up a bit.
Pretty printing is now optional (restoring compatibility with Python < 2.0)
Atom formatting is now handled in the same way as RSS formatting - no visible changes to the user, just tidier and more manageable code.
Slightly more intelligent handling of some Atom components.
General code tidy up and website tidy up.

feedformatter 0.2 - March 3, 2008 (Download) (Website)

Feeds are now "pretty printed" to their output files, i.e. new lines and indentation are used where appropriate.
The fromUFP factory function is now partially working.
RSS 2.0 validation has been slightly improved.
