[gDesklets] RSS Control

[Karel Vervaeke <karel vervaeke telenet be>]

Hi.  If this list is only meants for gdesklet development and not for 
Controls / Display, please point me the right way.

Google Calendar provides atom feeds for your calendars - the url's look 
like this
http://www.google.com/calendar/feeds/[email gmail com]/private-[hexstring]/basic

I tried to use the RSS Control (v0.5) for reading the atom feeds but I 
had to make some changes to make it work.  The changes look like this:

59a60
>              
75c76
<               self.data = escape(self.data + data.strip()).encode('utf-8')
---
>               self.data = escape(self.data + data.strip()).encode()
88c89
<               elif name == "item" or name=="entry":
---
>               elif name == "item":


There are numerous other improvements that can be made to the parser.
(On a sidenote, I'm looking for a control that will parse ICS files 
because the Google Calendar feeds are not exactly what I need).

regards,
Karel
