[mythtv-users] Turning the mythtv xml feed into an RSS feed

[Jake Sanders]

Anybody else get this working?
I'm having problems with it.

I'm using Mandrake (10.1 I think).
I installed mod_python, libxslt, and libxml2.

Although I have a file with virtual host tags in it, they are all
commented out.
However, I did find a file (16_mod_python.conf) that looked appropriate.

When I run, I get the errors listed at the bottom of this message.
I think the primary error is the comment about __str__ not being an
attribute of the xmlDoc.

Anybody have any idea what I did wrong?

Thanks,
Jake
