この解答を考える際、日本語のRSSフィードにも対応できるようにした。

Python は、内部文字列に unicord文字列をつかっており、外部に渡すときは、バイト文字列に変換しなくてはならない。

searcher = re.compile(args[0].decode('utf-8'), re.IGNORECASE)

ここでは、args[0]を unicord文字列 に変換(decode)して、正規表現オブジェクトにしている。

さらに、この文字列を外部に渡すときは、バイト文字列に変換しなくてはならない。

txt = unicodedata.normalize('NFKC', txt).encode('utf-8', 'ignore')
print(txt)

使い方

$ make

で、コンパイルしたら、newshound ができるので

$ ./newshound '香港|hong kong|韓国|korea'

あるいは、Python2 で直に動作させたい場合は、

$ export RSS_FEED=https://news.yahoo.co.jp/pickup/rss.xml
 $ /usr/bin/python rssgossip.py [-u|p|h] '香港|hong kong|韓国|korea'
