How to parse the “” using feedparser?

Question

The rss file is shown as below, i want to get the content in section media:group . I check the document of feedparser, but it seems not mention this. How to do

Answer 1

feedparser 4.1 as available from PyPi has this bug.

the solution for me was to get the latest feedparser.py (4.2 pre) from the repository.

svn checkout http://feedparser.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ feedparser-readonly
cd feedparser-readonly
python setup.py install

now you can access all mrss items

>>> import feedparser  # the new version!
>>> d = feedparser.parse(MY_XML_URL)
>>> for content in d.entries[0].media_content: print content['url']

should do the job for you

Answer 2

You can parse the feed using

feed = feedparser.parse(your_feeds_url)

and then access your xml elements using either python's attribute access or dictionary-like access on feed and its subelements. The former method won't work for an element name like media:content, so use the latter method.

The rest should become clear after studying the examples at http://www.feedparser.org
