I've been wanting to learn python for a while. After looking at the svn castopodder files I realized that I'm not ready to wrap my head around such a large python program much less contribute at this point.
Soooo I decided to start by writing a bashpodder replacement for myself in python. I have nothing against bashpodder but I wanted to learn python and also add a few features that bashpodder doesn't have.
I have much of the script finished. Which is to say that I have written it in a modular fashion where right now it can read a conf file, download and parse the feeds, and stores the acutal mp3,ogg etc urls. The next step is how will it store the downloaded files and keep track of them. But before I proceeded too much further I thought I might see if anyone else is interested in this type of script. If so what types of things did they wish bashpodder would do that it doesn't now. How they store their podcasts and how they play them.
Python is a pretty cool language and it's been fun learning it.

Sounds cool, I will hopefully begin working on the podcatcher that has been talked about in another thread since I finally finished programming Tetris. Hopefully I will get some free time soon and be able to start. It might be a good reference if you post the code somewhere for everyone to see.
