From: John Salerno Injection-Date: Sat, 26 Apr 2014 02:48:54 +0000 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Xref: csiph.com comp.lang.python:70621 As a little project for myself (and to help get immediate player notes for = my fantasy baseball team), I'm wondering what modules I might need to do th= is. Basically, I'd like to get immediate notification when a new player not= e has been added to an RSS feed. Since it will only be for specified players, I suppose I would use somethin= g like ElementTree to read the data and figure out if the update is about a= relevant player, but how do I check the RSS feed (constantly) in the first= place? I was reading a little about Universal Feed Parser, but I'm still n= ot sure about how to do the "push" notification aspect. I'd like immediate notifications if possible, or will I have to settle for = periodically checking the feed? If the latter, how do I ensure I only check= the newest updates since the last time, and not everything? Thanks! John
