Python lib that lets you treat Atom and RSS feeds like sets.
interssection provides Feed class that reads feeds from string (either
URL or XML) and supports all frozenset methods apart from
copy() and __contains__(elem). You can change id and title of
created feed and print/save it as Atom 1.0 XML (at the moment it's the
only supported output format).
from interssection import Feed
python = Feed('???/tags/python')
django = Feed('???/tags/django')
job = Feed('???/tags/job')
feed = (python | django) & job
feed.title = 'Python and Django jobs'
print feed
#!/usr/bin/env python
# encoding: utf-8
"""
Create Atom 1.0 feed containing Stack Overflow questions
tagged with "Python" but not tagged with "Django" and save
it to ~/Sites/nondjango.xml so that it can be accessed at
http://localhost/nondjango.xml on your shiny Mac.

Python 2.7 and either pip or easy_install are required.
interssection is written by Maciej Konieczny. This software is released into the public domain and uses semantic versioning for release numbering. Internally it uses feedparser, jinja2, and feedvalidator.
