[omaha] RSS generators for Python

[Mike on Python]

I would use Atom instead of RSS.  As you found out, the RSS standards are,
well, not very standard.  But the Atom standard is quite strong. Most
aggregators can understand Atom as well.  And Python's feedparser
understands it.

A quick google found this:

http://trac.defuze.org/browser/oss/atomixlib

But I think the problem with using someone else's generator is that the
generator doesn't know about your data -- you still have to tell it what
goes where, so you are kinda building your own generator anyway.  So why
not build your own?  With ElementTree, it wouldn't be too hard to do.
