Hi!
Just thought to share this with you, it's not directly PyCS related, but
at least RSS related (and written in python) :-)
At http://kenny.gws-online.de/~gb/searchebay.py you can download a short
python script that does a search at ebay for given search words and
creates an RSS feed out of the results.
Usage:
python searchebay.py +contax +zeiss -ikon -o=contax
searches for combinations of contax and zeiss, weeds out ikon and stores
it in $HOME/public_html/contax.xml
I run that one regularily on a server of mine and create watchlists for
stuff I am looking for (contax lenses, mamiya press rollfilm backs and
rollei 6008 stuff :-) ). Quite handy. And you can subscribe to that RSS
feed with MacReporter and see it "life" on your desktop when something
changes. See it as a late christmas present, or a temporary hack until
eBay implements web services :-)
The "official" announcement (in german) is at
