The packages on PyPI are rather outdated. Could these be updated to the latest release?

Hi!

I'd like to prepend my tag headers with the list of extra tags. I've achieved this by hacking tag.py like so:

diff --git a/canto_curses/tag.py b/canto_curses/tag.py
index ef2e3c0..f314abd 100644
--- a/canto_curses/tag.py
+++ b/canto_curses/tag.py
@@ -306,6 +306,9 @@ class Tag(list):

         # Make sure to strip out the category from category:name
         tag = self.tag.split(':', 1)[1]
+        extra = self.callbacks["get_tag_conf"](self)['extra_tags']
+        if extra:
+            tag = ", ".join(extra) + " -- " + tag

         unread = len([s for s in self\
                 if "canto-state" not in s.content or\

Can this be achieved with the current code somehow? I saw a format is defined, but haven't had the time to figure out how it works. That would be best, since even if someone wants to do this, they won't necessarily want it exactly like me.

I have installed canto from git and daemon cannot start. i attach the daemon-log
daemon-log.txt

Hi,

After setting some new locales and font settings to Archlinux x64, canto-curses was not able to display his text UI.
Logs from daemon are available here : http://ix.io/18z3

thanks for your time,

Greetings!

My name is Schimon and I am a champion of Syndication and XMPP.

For those of you who are not famiiliar, XMPP (previously Jabber) is a messaging system with open standards. XMPP is extensible via XEP.

I will discuss about XEP-0060: Publish-Subscribe.

Almost a couple of decades ago, a discussion arose about incorporating Atom (RFC 4287) with XMPP PubSub, which is really easy because both are XML data.

One of the major benefits of utilizing PubSub is native Push Notifications (yes, that technique was much before HTML5) which do not require HTTP pulling.

That would be a great feature to have Canto to utilize XMPP PubSub natively!

See a proof of concept I have made to parse PubSub nodes as Atom Syndication Format.

Cheers,
Schimon

Are you using https://docs.python.org/2/library/shelve.html for data storage or am I misreading the source?

Specifically evidenced by this:

koz@Azis ~ $ sudo -u canto pip show Canto

This is clearly incorrect, as canto-daemon relies on feedparser to do its work. By contrast, consider the examples given in the docs for pip show. Sure enough, manual execution fails in the expected manner:

koz@Azis ~ $ sudo -u canto bash -c 'PATH=/home/canto/.local/bin:${PATH} canto-daemon -v --port=3333 --cache=on'

It would be great to have a hook which will work upon pressing 'g' (upon opening an article in a web-browser). Then one can form his own RSS feed based upon the items he reads (I am basically posting cool articles to my friends and it takes much time... it would be quite an optimisation to post them just an rss :D)

And I have question about ssh: it takes too long to get contents and everything lagging (over LAN). Should it be like this?
I did on server:
canto-daemon -p 31000
I did on client:
canto-curses -a 192.168.100.33 -p 31000

(I am connecting just via LAN, not via ssh. The question is how to do it via ssh and will it be faster than lan and etc.)

UPD: And canto-curses sometimes outputs errno 111 - connection refused

This is more a question than an issue.

File .canto-ng/feeds grows and grows until it reaches the point when I couldn't download it over ssh and client breaks and do not work. Then I delete this file and it starts all over again.

I guess this is because of the option I set:
:keep_unread = [True|False]

I am never reading news through the reader itself, I choose interesting topics and press 'g' (open through web-server). Is that why daemon never deletes all old stuff? Will it delete the old stuff if I set this to False? And will I miss anything if this will be set to False, but daemon will work 24/7 on my raspbery PI server?

Btw. I am marking all the news as 'read' (they change color and dissapear from the client view configured with filter)

Hi !

Is there interest, or even someone working on, support for inoreader as backend ?

Cheers

heres my config, I probably screwed up something here. You should totally check for valid JSON

Deleting the feeds database file fixes this, but I don't want to keep doing that. This usually happens when I copy the feed database file between computers or the daemon/client crashes, although I haven't narrowed it down between those two. I don't suspect the machine change, sincle shelves are independent of architecture as are pickles as far as I know.

I'm running canto-daemon on a remote device, and I find it crashes periodically. I've just witnessed such a crash, and I've attached a zipped up daemon-log. How come this is happening?

Hello, I found a lot of these error messages in my log. I tested it with other feed reader there the feeds seem to work.

is this unmaintained? last release is 3 yrs ago, and latest commit to master is 2 yrs ago.

Hi! I package canto-daemon (or canto-next, or canto) for Arch Linux.

Unfortunately the latest release 0.9.8 is missing as an sdist tarball on pypi. It would be very awesome if you could upload it.

btw: all homepage links on the pypi projects for canto/canto-next/canto-curses time out.

I'm getting severe delays and outright non-responsiveness when running canto-daemon on ARM. This manifests itself as the server eating huge resources due to spawning a large number of threads, and the client communication is slow to the point of unusability.

I cannot find an command or option in setup.py

thanks

This happens once in a while:

Traceback (most recent call last):

TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not iterable

Which causes some issues when using canto-remote status in a conky field. Conky itself doesn't mind, but i3bar crashes with something about incorrect JSON.

It would be really nice to have a plugin for syncing with tt-rss-compatible sync services and servers.

It seems to be mentioned quite a bit for syncing recently, with the scheduled Google Reader shutdown. It would be wonderful to use it to sync canto with other readers.

It would be awesome to have a plugin for both the server and the client, for client syncing, and for using canto as a sync server too!

More info about syncing stuff here

So when I'm at another house with my friends which are using MS Windows, I need to install VirtualBox, Linux and canto-curses in order to just simply read the news, meanwhile a friend of mine simply evil-smiling and using android app to read his rss. So I want to use RSS on the go (with my smartphone/another OS), but it's impossible with canto (because it's only ncurses and linux). Is it possible to implement / or make plugin for compatibility with other RSS readers?

Got this problem two times now. Dunno how I achieved it.
Trying to start canto-curses and all I get is a empty screen.

Removing feeds file makes canto responsive again. But still the question how it could end like this

I want to add XDG folder support to Canto. Mind if I submit the patch upstream?

Hi, I just installed canto and I think this must be very simple to solve but I could not find any reference to it.

This is what I get in my daemon-log:

18:50:22 : CANTO-FETCH -> Empty feed, attempt to update.
18:50:22 : CANTO-FETCH -> Empty feed, attempt to update.
18:50:22 : CANTO-FETCH -> Empty feed, attempt to update.
18:50:22 : CANTO-FETCH -> Empty feed, attempt to update.
18:50:22 : CANTO-FETCH -> ERROR: try to parse http://rss.slashdot.org/slashdot/Slashdot, got decoding str is not supported
18:50:22 : CANTO-FETCH -> ERROR: try to parse http://reddit.com/.rss, got decoding str is not supported
18:50:22 : CANTO-FETCH -> ERROR: try to parse http://codezen.org/canto-ng/feed/, got decoding str is not supported

I added one new URL and has the same problem.

Thank you,

EDIT:

I have traced to problem to feedparser but I could not solve it.

I first thought it was a problem of str vs bytes so I appended .encode() to the URL. Then the error became:

17:24:06 : CANTO-FETCH -> Empty feed, attempt to update.
17:24:06 : CANTO-FETCH -> No content in http://codezen.org/canto-ng/feed/: :2👎 Document is empty

and like this with every possible feed.

Then I tried to use feedparser directly following the examples in http://pythonhosted.org/feedparser/introduction.html but those did not work either:

exemple 1:

import feedparser
d = feedparser.parse('http://feedparser.org/docs/examples/atom10.xml')
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in
File "/usr/lib64/python3.2/site-packages/feedparser-5.1.3-py3.2.egg/feedparser.py", line 3745, in parse
saxparser.parse(source)
File "/usr/lib64/python3.2/site-packages/drv_libxml2.py", line 189, in parse
eltName = (_d(reader.NamespaceUri()),
File "/usr/lib64/python3.2/site-packages/drv_libxml2.py", line 70, in _d
return _decoder(s)[0]
File "/usr/lib64/python3.2/encodings/utf_8.py", line 16, in decode
return codecs.utf_8_decode(input, errors, True)
TypeError: 'str' does not support the buffer interface

example 2:

import feedparser
d = feedparser.parse('http://feedparser.org/docs/examples/atom10.xml'.encode())
d
{'feed': {}, 'encoding': 'utf-8', 'bozo': 1, 'version': '', 'namespaces': {}, 'entries': [], 'bozo_exception': SAXParseException('Do cument is empty\n',)}

See the difference when using bytes and str.

I have canto-next and feedparser from their git repo.

Can anyone else reproduce this problem?

Next issue, which is a bit cumbersome to track down.

Monday the daemon was last running (Marked feeds like the ones from canto as read (not for the first time...))
Today I had the stuff from the canto feed again as unread in the list.

Following observations: (Example feed from codezen.org/canto-ng (Currently 10 items))

Starting new canto-daemon session, mark all those feeds as read.
Quiting curses gui, and starting again. Those feeds do not appear.

Killing daemon session , starting a new one. No feed items from canto.

Starting daemon session with new IP. Still no feed-items

Same for rebooting between canto-daemon sessions.

But it seems if some days go by I get this stuff again.
What could be left as culprits? time_keep running out in case of "check if it's gone from the feed but still there"?
Or some other date change?

canto-remote kill failed with an error about an another canto-daemon running.

The daemon was started by the curses interface, the computer had no internet access.
Dunno what about others scenarios (internet connection, etc).
Need to test that, but currently not near my machines with an working internet-connection.

So, hopefully it's easy to reproduce and not one strange occurance.

Just like open a feed in canto client UI, open a group will show feeds.

1:
I have a config file like this:
https://gist.github.com/3765491

Every time I open canto-curses, it will overwrite my new config file with default config file. really crazy.

2:
And I feel the new style of adding (write) feeds is really bad style. looks tooooooo long (if I have many feeds). Can Canto separate the feeds into a separate file ?

It would be great if one could use Owncloud News for synchronisation, similarly to inoreader

As in the title, is there currently an option to shut down the daemon automatically together with the client?

Configure user and password for url (Jira2) do not work for me. ":2:942: mismatched tag". User and password as args in url (Jira1) works fine

Hello! Can you help me with a plugin which will do smth (create a file, for example) when new rss item is added?

Firstly, I'm posting it here and not in the canto-curses section because I'm intended to write a plugin which will act when new rss item is pulled. But my current implementation involves canto-curses side. So, currently I’m using this way:

I’ve added one more line:

os.sytem('touch /tmp/rssitems')

right after the line

call_hook('items_added', [ self, added ] )

into canto_curses/tag.py file. But it’s not working properly. The file created even when canto-curses filter removes already read news.

Please help me at least to find proper spot in your code where I should add os.system('touch filename') line to work only when new rss item is added. Although, plugin-way will be more proper in this situation.

P.S. It is me who needs file to be created for notification, other people could always write

os.system("notify-send 'new rss ololo'")

I currently notice that feeds are vanishing, even if keep_unread is set to True.

Or is this option gone with 0.9?

(On another note. Somewhere a place where all options can be seen? Autocompleting through all options isn't very effective :D. Maybe a skeleton file could be added (or example config) to have a start base)

Hello,

first of all canto is the feed reader I ever dreamed of! The usability is one kind of a flow. Thanks for that!

One thing I miss is that canto do not have the ability to communicate through a (socks) proxy. It would be cool to have this ability.
But there is some downside. I experienced that not all feeds work with the proxy settings of other feed readers e.g. the feed of the wiki in my LAN so it should be possible to make an exception for single feeds.

I will become a patron hope this increases the motivation for this feature a little bit ;-)

Edit: Maybe python considers environment variables like here.

The website lists this command to add the signature key:

curl http://codezen.org/static/canto-pub.gpg | sudo apt-key add –

But I think it should be:

curl http://codezen.org/static/canto-pub.gpg | sudo apt-key add -

The website uses an n-dash, but a terminal only understands the command with a hyphen on the end.

I also had to add the architecture to the source line like this: deb [arch=amd64] http://codezen.org/debian xenial main, or it would complain about missing i386 sources.

As in the title, I'd like to have something like default_keep in 0.7, to keep a limited number of items.

I've seen the keep (and rate, but that's not related to this issue) attributes in CantoFeed, but I don't see right away where they are used. Setting them does not seem to make a difference. Is this not implemented yet?

Also, are read items ever removed? Is there something akin to never_discard from the previous version?

I cannot change update interval in canto-curses or canto-remote. Canto manual says that update interval can be change by
:set update.auto.enabled False
:set update.auto.interval 36000

However, canto-daemon ignores these settings. This is visible from network capture dump - daemon very often connects to rss feeds even after settings are changed and daemon is restarted. I suspect that default update value is too low.

By the way, the config/setting part of canto is completely broken - there is now way to look at settings and change them. For example, after setting update changes via :set in canto-curses, these settings are not visible from canto-remote config. Also, the remote config command does not allow to inspect settings. Neither does :help command in curses allows to inspect available settings. Currently, users have no idea what settings are and how they can be changed.

I see only 1 solution to the update problem now - just shut down the daemon after update.

Using canto-daemon 0.8.2 on ArchLinux on laptop. When started it uses at least one cpu at 100% for at least 5 minutes and also when fetching feeds. Was not paying attension until now, when I use more time on battery.
htop screenshot: http://gallery.zebulj.si/var/albums/Razno/screenshot-2013-07-18.jpg?m=1374167699
canto-daemon log: http://zebulj.si/ajaxp/data/public/180638.php

I've got a small question.

Following case:
The daemon is started and fetching via a cron-job. But now and then I don't have a connection to the internet.
If that's the case, canto-daemon will start at the requested time and tries to fetch. This will of course fail. I would assume the daemon would try again after the cron job kicks in or I would manually force the update or whatever update (in the config) time is given.
But as it failed the daemon tries now every minute feeds to get the content which spikes the cpu to 100% until I kill it (And need to do everytime after the cronjob comes into action)

So, my question is, can/should this behaviour changed within canto or do I need to find a solution on my side? Or am I overseeing something?

When you run yaourt -S "canto-next-git canto-curses-git" you get dependency conflict because canto-curses-git installs canto-daemon as depencency, and then you try to install canto-next-git which is conflicting with canto-daemon and throws "canto-next-git and canto-daemon are in conflics". I solved this problem by installing first canto-next-git and only then canto-curses-git. But is there any solution to install these both using oneline-command?

I am working in an environment that is protected with a pac-file based proxy-setting.
Firefox asks me to provide credentials, when I load a new page.
Liferea doesn't support it altogether. That's why I tried canto.
Is it possible to add the link to the pac file somewhere?
Or is this unsupported either?

rgds,
Markus
