I now have a new question related to the same project. I currently have a code snippet like this:

1.for item in d.entries:
2.    link = Link(url=item.link)
3.    link.save()
4.    user = User.objects.get(id=1)
5.    link = Link.objects.get(id=1)
6.    bookmark = Bookmark (
7.        title = item.title,
8.        desc = item.description,
9.        link = link,
10.      user = user,
11.  )
12.  bookmark.save()

I need to increment the link id (line 5) for each item in the d.entries. I tried "link = Link.objects.get(id=id+1)" and "link = Link.objects.get((id=1)+1)", but both of them generated errors. I am not quite sure where to go from here.

Thank you,
Tonu

Hello,

I am trying to parse a feed and insert some feed elements into a Django project database. I believe I should be able to use for loop to iterate over the list elements. I am using the Universal Feed parser (http://www.feedparser.org/). I am able to extract items one by one and insert them into a database (code below). As my first try at this, I would like to print the titles of all the feed entries. I tried this

import feedparser
d = feedparser.parse('http://feeds.delicious.com/v2/rss/utools')
for item in d.entries:
   print item

This prints all the feed entries and their values. Any thoughts on how I could just print the titles?
I found out the answer after trying some more. To print the title only, I need to do this:

for item in d.entries:
   print item.title


Code to save a single feed item into the database:
#!/usr/local/bin/python
import feedparser
import os.path
import sys, os
import django.contrib.auth
sys.path.append ('/home/dmc/projects/django_bookmarks')
os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE']='settings'
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
from bookmarks.models import *
d = feedparser.parse('http://feeds.delicious.com/v2/rss/utools')

link1 = Link(url=d.entries[0].link)
link1.save()
user = User.objects.get(id=1)
link = Link.objects.get(id=1)
bookmark = Bookmark (
   title = d.entries[0].title,
   desc = d.entries[0].description,
   link = link,
   user = user,
)
bookmark.save()
