Friday, May 31, 2002

autorss.py, a Python script to find a site’s RSS feed. It can be used programmatically (the autorss.getRSSLink function) or on the command line:

[f8dy]$ python autorss.py http://diveintomark.org/
http://diveintomark.org/xml/rss.xml

I’m already using it in my auto-linkbacks to search for the referring site’s RSS feed and display an XML icon next to the referrer.
