At the heart of Planet Atom is the mergeatom module. I've updated mergeatom a lot since I first released it. It's still a simple Python utility for merging multiple Atom 1.0 feeds into an aggregated feed. Some of the features:
- Reads in a list of atom URLs, files or content strings to be merged into a given target document
- Puts out a complete, merged Atom document (duplicates by atom:id are suppressed).
- Collates the entries according to date, allowing you to limit the total. WARNING: Entries from the original Atom feed may be deleted according to ID duplicate removal or entry count limits.
- Allows you to set the sort order of resulting entries
- Uses atom:source elements, according to the spec, to retain key metadata from the originating feeds
- Normalizes XML namespaces prefixes for output Atom elements (uses atom:*)
- Allows you to limit contained entries to a date range
- Handles base URIs fixup intelligently (Base URIs on feed elements are) migrated on to copied entries so that contained relative links remain correct
It requires atomixlib 0.3.0 or more recent, and Amara 1.1.6 or more recent
