[BangPypers] Latest Cricket News in Command Line

[Gopalakrishnan Subramani]

I don't think, I will be giving you the complete working code, here is
sample one.

sites = {
0: "<<BBCLink>>",
1: "<<CricInfoLink>>"
}

X= input('BBC Cricket News:1 , Cricinfo Cricket News:2 \n enter your choice:
')

if sites.has_key((int(X)):
    news_feed = feedparser.parse(sites[int(X)])
    for entry in news_feed.entries:
          print "<<your format>>, entry.title, entry.description
           <<file the rest here>>

The above code may not work syntactically. Hope this helps.

If you are ever interested knowing the latest cricket news, here is the link
from my own site, http://stacked.in/cricket?section=sports
Certainly writing your own parser would help you to build your
knowledge..Have fun..

Regards,

Krish
