You didn't specify your use case very much. If you just want to add support for generating Atom/RSS feeds to your app and the format (i.e. which elements and attributes are used) isn't too dynamic, you could just an XML-templating language like Kid or Genshi. The feed generator included in TurboGears uses this approach. I recently packaged this as a separate module: http://chrisarndt.de/projects/turbofeeds/ The module still only makes sense in a TurboGears context but you may want to look at the Kid templates used, they could be used by any app that wants to generate Atom/RSS: http://trac.turbogears.org/browser/projects/TurboFeeds/trunk/turbofeeds/templates Chris -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Great... I guess I should have learned more about ElementTree. In anyway, Thanks all. You all convinced me, really.
