Hi,

I am brand new to GAE and Python and have very limited programming
skills thus far, so this is a cry for help after spending the last few
days trawling google for a solution :(

I want to import, parse and embed an RSS feed from a Google
spreedsheet. I have done this before in a PHP script that simply acts
as a proxy to parse RSS into HTML and used a Server Side Include to
embed the output of the PHP script - nice and easy and SEO friendly.

So far I currently only have a very simple static set up on GAE as
follows:

handlers:

- url: /

  static_files: assets/index.html

  upload: assets/index.html


- url: /

  static_dir: assets


I thought I may have 3 different potential solutions,

1) somehow point a url at an external domain that can handle PHP -
thought it was worth a try in the YAML file - wishful thinking!!

ie.

- url:/PageNeedingRSSProxyData

static_dir: http://otherdomain.com/PageWithRSSProxyData

2) Grabbing the output of the external PHP file with URL fetch API and
caching it, then including the file in the HTM using django templates
- i looked at this and got very lost.

3) Grabing the RSS feed directly and parsing it with Python and
embedding it in a web page - again got very lost.


Can anyone point me in the right direction? or am i too far out of my
depth?

Any help on this would be awesome and very much appreciated.

Cheers

Ben
