THIS IS A FORK

The metadata for the Apesmit package by Florian Diesch indicates Python 3 compatibility, but it actually works fine with Python 2. This fork just removes the Python 3-only flag.

What is ApeSmit?

ApeSmit is a very simple Python module to create XML sitemaps as defined at http://www.sitemaps.org. ApeSmit doesn't contain any web spider or something like that, it just writes the data you provide to a file using the proper syntax.

Usage

First we create an instance of SiteMap:

sm=Sitemap(changefreq='weekly')

The changefreq keyword sets a default value for that parameter.

Now we add some URL's to our sitemap:

sm.add('http://www.example.com/')

We may use some parameters:

sm.add('http://www.example.com/news/', changefreq='daily', ... priority=1.0, ... lastmod='1891-1-1')

There's a shortcut for URL's that changed today:

sm.add('http://www.example.org/about.html', lastmod='today')

That's all for now. Next we need a file to write the sitemap in:

out=open('sitemap.xml', 'w')

Now we write our sitemap and then close the file:

sm.write(out) out.close()

And that's the content of our shiny new sitemap::

http://www.example.com/ weekly http://www.example.com/news/ 1891-1-1 daily 1.0 http://www.example.org/about.html 2008-04-03 weekly
