Converting KNewsTicker feeds to OPML

Posted in General by Frank Osterfeld on the April 25th, 2005

Kevin Deldycke wrote a python script you can use to export your KNewsTicker to OPML. Just run the script and import the created file to Akregator via File->Import Feeds. The script depends on pyxml. Thanks Kevin!

    Do you have pyxml installed?

    I was getting this error:
    Traceback (most recent call last):
    File “./KnewstickerToAkregator-2005_04_25.py”, line 178, in ?
    knt_feeds = getFeeds(file_object)
    File “./KnewstickerToAkregator-2005_04_25.py”, line 109, in getFeeds
    category_id = parser.get(section, ’subject’)
    File “/usr/lib/python2.4/ConfigParser.py”, line 520, in get
    raise NoOptionError(option, section)
    ConfigParser.NoOptionError: No option ’subject’ in section: ‘FreshPorts - the place for ports’

    So I made a fixed version of the script:
    http://vidner.net/martin/software/KnewstickerToAkregator-2006_08_31.py
    The diff against the previous version is

    Hi ! As I said in a recent post ( http://kev.coolcavemen.com/2006/10/old-site-to-blog-merge-in-progress/ ), I moved my scripts from my old site to my new one.

    You can find the latests versions of my scripts there: http://kev.coolcavemen.com/linux-scripts/

    Thanks Martin for your contribution !

    For Don Alfredo: it look like you didn’t install the pyxml package.
