Session Goal

The primary goal of this session was to fix and enhance the filename handling logic in various Python scripts related to RSS data processing and digest file generation.

Key Activities

  • Restored Window Label in Filenames: Implemented a solution to restore the window label in the filename prefix before saving digest files, ensuring filenames conform to the expected pattern.
  • Bug Fix in Filename Construction: Addressed a bug in the filename construction within 01_digests.py, ensuring the filename prefix includes the window type label.
  • Updated CSV Filename Logic: Revised the __main__ block in Python to include window labels in CSV filenames, aiding consistent downstream processing.
  • Corrected RSS Data Processing Filenames: Made critical corrections to filename handling in RSS data processing scripts to preserve window labels.
  • Fixed RSS Feed Processing Logic: Restored filename return from the fetch_and_save_news function to ensure compatibility with downstream processes.
  • Tested RSS Pipeline: Conducted tests on the RSS pipeline using Python commands, detailing expected output files and processes.
  • Enhanced Script with Argument Parsing: Implemented command-line argument parsing in a Python script using the argparse library.

Achievements

  • Successfully refactored the filename logic across multiple scripts, ensuring consistency and compatibility with downstream processes.
  • Enhanced the Python scripts with command-line argument parsing for better flexibility and usability.

Pending Tasks

  • Further testing of the RSS pipeline to ensure robustness and handle edge cases.
  • Consider additional improvements in slicing logic based on feedback from testing.
