[Laconica-dev] feednotice, a Rss-to-laconica script (was: Re: Developing the sense of a developer community)

Hello all,

I've just written a little python script to post updates from my blog on 
my fresh laconica installation. The script is here: 
http://filyb.info/public/scripts/feednotice.py

How it works? You need python and feedparser <http://feedparser.org/>
Run it by:
./feednotice.py subscription_file interval
where interval is number of minutes between each refresh of feeds, and 
subscription_file is the file where you list your feeds, like that:

# username  password    site                        feed
username,   password,   http://laconica.site/,      http://my.feed/
username,   password,   http://identi.ca/,          http://my.feed/other

Fields are comma separated.
Notice that this script is not complicated, is make to run as a daemon 
and consider items as new is their date is more recent than the last 
check date. The last check date is initialized as the current time on 
running, so if you stop the script then running it again, items in the 
interval will not be posted.

I may write a better version using ids and saving them to new items, 
this could solve some issues. However, the current version already 
works, so enjoy!

Cheers,

NB: a password is needed, event if you registered with OpenID. Is-it 
possible to make something for that?
NB2: thanks to Ryan Paul for the piece of python here:
