Question

I am using feedparser for parsing from XML file.But I couldn’t parse <geo:lat>, <geo:long> tags using feedparser from that file! Do you people have any idea how I can parse those tags using feedparser in python?

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Feedparser should parse Basic Geo namespace with extension name geo without problem.
Check that your XML has http://www.w3.org/2003/01/geo/wgs84_pos# namespace declaration like:

xmlns:geo="http://www.w3.org/2003/01/geo/wgs84_pos#"

This snippet should work:

 import feedparser
 d = feedparser.parse('http://yourfeed.xml')
 print d.entries[0].['geo_lat']
 print d.entries[0].['geo_long']
