A Unified Python Planet
I subscribe to both the official and unofficial Python planet feeds because they’ve each got some content that’s unique to one or the other, but the overlap and duplication has really been bugging me lately. So I suddenly remembered the joy that is Yahoo Pipes and glued both of them together with a unique-ifying filter to eliminate duplicates, and, feeling generous, I stuck a friendlier Feedburner URL around it–you can get it at http://feeds.feedburner.com/UnifiedPythonPlanet.
It makes me pretty happy so far, except that somewhere in Pipes land I seem to be losing newlines in pre elements (which appears to be a bug in Pipes itself, argh), which is a little (very) annoying when trying to read people’s code samples. I may end up replacing the Pipes side with a little bit of Python (a little Feedparser and PyRSS2Gen ought to do the trick) if I get the time later today.
Anyway. I figured I should share it, on the offchance it makes anyone else’s life better. (Or if such a creature already exists, let me know and I’ll gladly use that instead.)
