This seems to be a pretty straightforward project. There are solid existing RSS modules available for Python. We can discuss what database backend you would like to use. I have experience with both SQL databases as well as NoSQL databases like couchdb or mongodb. I think couchdb might work well for this project. Or we can go with sqlite if you're not interested in running a separate daemon. Message me if you have any questions. :)

Hello! I am a professional programmer with many years of web scraping experience using Python. I have read your project description, and I can create the RSS Image Generation program you have described. To do so, I will use the libraries Mechanize (for web automation tools), BeautifulSoup (for parsing html), and Selenium (for working with AJAX or Javascript, if necessary). I have written very similar programs in the past, and I would be happy to show examples. Please contact me so we may speak further and so I can send files. Thank you for your consideration.

Hi , I have been scripting in python for over 4 years and I am sure I can deliver the work at the earliest. My scripting skills have helped me win the first runners up position in Microsoft National Hacking Contest 2014. I have built many scripts , one of them is a periodic amazon price checker and updating the user as soon as there is a price change . This project was carried by using a simple python scraper script , using the request and beautifulSoup library , and to make the app responsive, I had used celery as my task queue and redis as the message broker. I am planning on using the request library for making requests, feedparser library to parse the rss feeds, mysql database to store the data. Since , this is my first time in Freelancer , I request you to give me a chance so that i can the deliver the best i have.

Greetings. I'll ACTUALLY do this work --- delivered -- no hassles. I'll set it up on an amazon aws instance, with a db & cron options. Python is no problem and expect a clean extensible interface.
