"""Ultra-liberal RSS feed locator
http://diveintomark.org/projects/rss_finder/
Usage:
getFeeds(uri) - returns list of RSS feeds associated with this address
Example:
>>> import rssfinder
>>> rssfinder.getFeeds('http://diveintomark.org/')
['http://diveintomark.org/xml/rss.xml']
>>> rssfinder.getFeeds('macnn.com')
['http://www.macnn.com/macnn.rdf']
Can also use from the command line. Feeds are returned one per line:
$ python rssfinder.py diveintomark.org
http://diveintomark.org/xml/rss.xml
How it works:
0. At every step, RSS feeds are minimally verified to make sure they are
really RSS feeds.
1. If the URI points to an RSS feed, it is simply returned; otherwise
the page is downloaded and the real fun begins.
2. Feeds pointed to by LINK tags in the header of the page (RSS autodiscovery)
3. links to feeds on the same server ending in ".rss", ".rdf", or ".xml"
4. links to feeds on the same server containing "rss", "rdf", or "xml"
5. links to feeds on external servers ending in ".rss", ".rdf", or ".xml"
6. links to feeds on external servers containing "rss", "rdf", or "xml"
7. As a last ditch effort, we search Syndic8 for feeds matching the URI
