So here is my code where I am trying to wrap it into StringIO class
import feedparser
import io
def read():
import os
name = os.path.join(os.getcwd(), 'extras', 'feeds',
'zycrypto.com_1596955288219')
f = open(name, "r")
text = f.read()
f.close()
return text
text = read()
parsed = feedparser.parse(io.StringIO(text))
for i in parsed.entries:
print(i.summary, '\n')
However I keep getting this error
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./server/python/test.py", line 14, in <module>
parsed = feedparser.parse(io.StringIO(text))
File "/Users/zup/.local/share/virtualenvs/myapp_v3-kUGnE3_O/lib/python3.7/site-packages/feedparser.py", line 3922, in parse

TypeError: cannot use a bytes pattern on a string-like object
Apparently feedparser.parse
internally expects a bytes
object where it is currently receiving a string, because it passes that object to a regex matching function where it uses a bytes
pattern, and the object to match and the pattern need to have the same type.
You can get a bytes
object by changing open(..., 'r')
to open(..., 'rb')
and using BytesIO
instead of StringIO
.
