Generating RSS Feeds With WebPy

Some days ago I have seen someone asking how to generate RSS feeds with [webpy](http://www.mengu.net/tag/webpy). It is like generating feeds with any other web framework. How the logic should be? * Retrieve the items from the database. * Create a RSS template. * Set the content type. * Print the items via template. So, let's start with creating our feed class first. class feed: def GET(self): date = datetime.today().strftime("%a, %d %b %Y %H:%M:%S +0200") posts = db.select("post", order="id DESC", limit=10) web.header('Content-Type', 'application/xml') return render.feed(posts=posts, date=date) This is all we need for generating for the feed. Now we can skip to create the feed template. http://www.mengu.net/ mengu on web programming. en-us {{ date }} {{ date }} Mengu.net mengu@mengu.net mengu@mengu.net {% for post in posts %} http://www.mengu.net/post/{{ post.slug }} {{ post.dateline }} http://www.mengu.net/post/{{ post.dateline }} {% endfor %} This is a valid RSS feed. You can learn more on RSS feeds [here](http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/rss/rss.html). So, basically I have created a valid RSS template and then loop through the post items and I have my RSS working perfect. Enjoy!
