I prefer a solution like this, too. It nicely decouples feed fetching from the actual reader application, which is a very good idea. (In Grr, feed fetching was the cause of multiple non-trivial threading and memory management issues, which could easily and elegantly be solved this way without any major impacts on stability or performance.) Another positive implication would be that it's easier to write the feed fetcher in another language, possibly reusing existing RSS parsing code (like feedparser.py, which is probably one of the most complete feed parsers you can get). First, I need to find the time for it though, and at the moment, it doesn't look like this is going to happen soon. So if anyone wants to have a try, go ahead! :-) Best regards, Günther _______________________________________________ Etoile-dev mailing list Etoile-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/etoile-dev
