Atomstrom

Atomstrom is a simple aggregator for RSS and Atom feeds.

It's written in Python and uses some well known and well tested modules:

• Feeds are parsed by Universal Feed Parser
• Database is accessed via SQLAlchemy
• Entry content can be fetched as full web page content, or using python-readability, a Python port of Readability.

Since SQLAlchemy is quite versatile, it should be possible to use either MySQL or SQLite as database backend (tested only with MySQL so far).

Completed Features

• Each feed has it's own configuration as of when mails are sent:
  • either send one mail for every news item, immediately after it has been collected
  • or include every news item from a feed into a 'daily digest'

Planned Features

• add and remove newsfeeds with command line parameters, configuration of the feeds is kept in the database
