Skyscraper

Skyscraper is a very simple, very lightweight RSS-to-HTML converter, written in Python by Philip Brien. To use it, drop it into your cgi-bin folder, along with the BeautifulSoup XML parser. Skyscraper has been released into the public domain, so feel free to use it and modify it for your own purposes.

To change the settings, look at the section marked "control variables" (inside the comments). The variable "feedURL" must point to the RSS feed that you wish to convert; the variable "numofposts" must be an integer value denoting the number of items from the RSS feed that you wish to display.

By default, Skyscraper only displays the date that the item was posted and its contents. Modifying it to display the post title rather than the date is simple: replace "pubdate" on line 17 with "title".
