Typical usage of Orchard.RSS looks like this:

  import Orchard.RSS

  channel = Orchard.RSS.load('http://monkeyfist.com/rss1.php3')

  dc = "http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/"
  ag = "http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/aggregation/"

  print "Site:        " + channel.title
  print "URL:         " + channel.link
  print "Description: " + channel.description
  print "Copyright:   " + channel[(dc, 'rights')]
  print "Language:    " + channel[(dc, 'language')]
  print "Publisher:   " + channel[(dc, 'publisher')]
  print
  print "Items:"

  for item in channel.items:
      print "  Title:           " + item.title
      print "  Link:            " + item.link
      print "  Description:     " + item.description
      print "  Link creator:    " + item[(dc, 'creator')]
      print "  Link date:       " + item[(dc, 'date')]
      print

Orchard.RSS Nodes

The following sections describe the core properties of RSS nodes. In addition to core properties, RSS modules generally add new properties using namespaced properties like this:

  channel[(dc, 'publisher')] = 'The Monkeyfist Collective'

  rdf_ns = "http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#"
