One of the best things about technology and its innate hackability (intentional or otherwise) is the endless variety of seemingly mismatched hardware and software that end up working (logically, even) once a hack is finished. The combinations are limitless -- using a stationary bike to power your NetBSD toaster, installing Linux on an XBox 360 -- and range from useful, to potentially useful, to "just because I can."
There have been some hacks done to the Nintendo Wii, enabling people to create and test homebrew applications and travel the globe, virtually, via balance board and Google Earth. The Wiimote has been configured to control a few open source applications, such as MythTV. Now, as CNet's Eric Franklin reports, Google software engineer Matt Cutts has gotten his Wii Fit balance board to communicate with his Linux box (he's using Ubuntu) via Bluetooth and roughly 200 lines of Python code.

I am about to write some code to process RSS feeds. However, I am finding that I have to special case for the several different types of RSS standards that our there (Atom 1.0, RSS 1.0, RSS 2.0, etc.). There are some libraries out there, and I was wondering what people had to say about which ones might make sense. I'm open to writing this in Python, Java, PHP or Ruby.
Hello. I am looking for a good library that will help me parse RSS feeds. Has anyone used feedparser? Any feedback?

Hello. I have a python script that requires libxml2 import. I cannot find the libxml2 package on the default mac python installation. Where can I get it from? I did not find it on python.org. Maybe I didn't look in the right places?
I am looking for a tool to allow me to find out the response headers that are being sent back from my server. I am thinking of writing a script that makes an HTTP request, but I don't want to do cookie management, etc to get to sections of my site that require me to login. What tools can I use that will dump the http headers and show me a request/response trail for my web app? The web app is running on apache and is written in python.
