Weeknotes: 8 January to 12 January 2024
New year, Buttondown, RSS feeds, and PostgreSQL in Django
From now on, these weeknotes will be hosted on Buttondown.
What I have found gripping
Fetching and parsing an RSS feed in Python can be done with a library called feedparser
RSS file formats can be .rss and .xml
Connecting Django to a PostgreSQL database requires updating the file settings.py and the line starting with "DATABASE ="
Entering the command \z new_table_name in the terminal displays a list of users and their permissions on the table
