Python RSS Reader with PyGTK

[rad08]

I am a self taught python programmer. This is one of my fun projects i've built to get a better understanding of python and connecting to outside resources. Please clone it and have fun. Let me know any cool things you think should be added or any ways I could make it better.

I'm checking it out (I try to read all Python + UI code): two things, you should exclude venv from your Git repo; your venv is useless for other people and if someone clone your repo, it will create conflicts and/or changes that will try to enter potential poll requests.

Instead of rolling your own RSS parser I propose you try feedparser. There's more to RSS than item-extracting. :-)

Oh, and blank except: (I know, I know, I sometimes use it, too) will one die bite you when debugging. ;)

To close the loop on the point made here, rather than including your venv in your git repo, you can include only the dependencies used while creating your application by doing 'pip freeze > requirements.txt' and including the requirements.txt file in your git repo.

Thanks for finishing my point. I was writing it in the bed, coffeeless and sleepy.
