markyp-rss

markyp-based RSS 2.0 implementation.

Installation

The project is listed on the Python Package Index, it can be installed simply by executing pip install markyp-rss.

Getting started

If you are not familiar with the basic concepts of markyp, please start by having a look at its documentation here.

Creating an RSS 2.0 feed using markyp-rss is as easy as instantiating the required RSS elements and converting the RSS object to string when the feed is ready.

from typing import List, Optional

from markyp_rss.elements import Category, Channel, Image, Item, RSS

def get_items() -> Optional[List[Item]]:
    """Returns the items to be included in the channel."""
    return [
        Item("First", "https://markyp.demo/first"),
        Item("Second", "https://markyp.demo/second"),
        Item("Third", "https://markyp.demo/third")
    ]

rss = RSS(
    Channel(
        "markyp-rss RSS 2.0 Demo Channel",
        "https://markyp.demo/channel.rss",
        "RSS 2.0 example built using markyp-rss.",
        language="en-us",
        image=Image("markyp-rss RSS 2.0 Demo Channel", "https://markyp.demo/channel.jpeg", "https://markyp.demo/channel.rss"),
        ttl=40,
        categories=[Category("Demo"), Category("Example")],
        items=get_items()
    )
)

print(rss)

Contribution guidelines

Every form of contribution is welcome, including documentation improvements, tests, bug fixes, and feature implementations.

Please follow these guidelines to contribute to the project:

• Make sure your changes match the documentation and coding style of the project, including PEP 484 type annotations.
• mypy is used to type-check the codebase, submitted code should not produce typing errors. See this page for more information on mypy.
• Small fixes can be submitted simply by creating a pull request.
• Non-trivial changes should have an associated issue in the issue tracker that commits must reference (typically by adding #refs <issue-id> to the end of commit messages).
• Please write tests for the changes you make (if applicable).

If you have any questions about contributing to the project, please contact the project owner.

As mentioned in the contribution guidelines, the project is type-checked using mypy, so first of all, the project must pass mypy's static code analysis.

The project is tested using pytest. The chosen test layout is that tests are outside the application code, see this page for details on what it means in practice.

If pytest is installed, the test set can be executed using the pytest test command from within the project directory.

If pytest-cov is also installed, a test coverage report can be generated by executing pytest test --cov markyp_rss from the root directory of the project.
