qq:python generator for GeoRSS?

Hey there--

Anyone got a recommendation on a python lib for generating GeoRSS?
I'll do my own one if there's not one out there, but figured I'd ask
first.

(This is for AppEngine, by the way).

GeoRSS is just more angle brackets, so all libs are pretty much the same.
It's probably not worth copying the 5 lines of coordinate tuple wrangling
code from my zgeo.atom project.

No lxml then.

I wouldn't call it "ghetto". :) It seems silly to have a tool that is  
specific to a simple extension to a larger format.

I feel that this is particularly unclear to the broader base potential  
developers or "users". That GeoRSS isn't a unique format but just a  
simple addition to an existing format developers already probably  
support. I've actually had a developer respond to the question about  
"why don't you add GeoRSS" with something like "We currently support  
RSS and don't want to add another unique format"

Sorry, should have been more clear. I wasn't currently outputting any
atom or rss, so actually atom/rss generators with georss support built
in was more what I was looking for.
I ended up using django templates + template vars to create the feed,
only took a few minutes and is actually kind of clean looking.

I do think that on the parsing side,  it actually is useful to have
libraries with georss hooks built in, particularly considering the
multiple styles of GeoRSS and also the different way languages deal
with xml-with-namespace parsing. Ill admit to spending non-trivial
amounts of time doing georss parsers in various langs (most recently
while learning AS3 E4X style parsing at same time).

Yeah, production of a feed document with GeoRSS elements almost has to be
done specifically for a framework. I'm using Zope page templates. On the
parsing front -- I made a nice patch for the universal feedparser last
year that is complete and (if I may say so) nicely designed. You get back
the Python dict that is more or less equivalent to GeoJSON.

No action on the ticket. Pilgrim must be spending his 20% free time on
more interesting things.

Nice-- thanks! I didn't know about the feedparser project. I'll try
that out sometime.
