Display posts from Wordpress blog in webpage hosted on google app engine

I am trying to display titles of the posts (along with date and link to the post) from my wordpress blog on my webpage which is hosted on google app engine. Can I import python's xmlrpc module and use getRecentPosts function to get the list of the posts? How can I get the date and link of the post and display it on my webpage?

Thanks in advance.

One easy option would be to use Beautiful Soup to read your blog's RSS feed, and syndicate that on your front page.

From: http://ttm.appspot.com/blog/2008/12/20/wordpress-xml-rpc-getrecentposts-behaviour/

Here's some code that will call getRecentPosts and output it in the response:

username = 'yourUser'
password = 'yourPassword'
xmlrpc_url = "http://www.yourblog.net/wordpress/xmlrpc.php"
sp = xmlrpclib.ServerProxy(xmlrpc_url)
# recent posts list:
rpl = sp.metaWeblog.getRecentPosts(1, username, password, 700)
self.response.out.write(rpl)

But this won't work...

The problem I'm having with testing this, though, is that Python 2.7 has a bug where I get this error:

TypeError: endheaders() takes exactly 1 argument (2 given)

That's solved in a patch that was posted here:

https://github.com/facebook/python-sdk/pull/62

Not sure how easy it would be to apply that patch. It was made fairly recently (August), so I don't know if it would be in the main Python branch yet.

You probably won't be able to use the library without that fix, though.
