grabfeed's Issues

Why not check if URL contains the http substring?

When I run

rss_feed = return_rss('engadget.com')

it prompts

requests.exceptions.MissingSchema: Invalid URL 'engadget.com': No schema supplied. Perhaps you meant http://engadget.com?

It would be nice if your code could check in advance if the URL contained the http, or if it could preappend to URL in case it was missing, so that you are error free.

However I understand it could be a whim of mine, and I could easily check the URL before feeding it into your code.

Thanks

Cannot install...

Hi all,

pip install grabfeed

fails in python3:

grabfeed 0.4 has requirement requests==2.8.1, but you'll have requests 2.19.1 which is incompatible.

Why differentiate between atom and rss feeds in your code?

I'm asking - by a beginner point of view - why is there the need to have two methods returning atoms and rss, so that users have to check both.

Why not use a single method instead?

Thanks for your courtesy

RSS not found for url, while it has got one indeed

I know it could be something personal, but..
your code doesn't find the feed for the following URL:

rss_feed = return_rss('http://rischiocalcolato.it')

it gives

raise Exception("The page has no RSS feed")

Feed is indeed present at http://rischiocalcolato.it/feed

I'm bothering you with all these issues because I'm using your code ( thanks!!! <3 ) because I'm (trying) to build a telegram bot RSS reader, cloning the official @TheFeedReaderBot

Thanks
