Not sure why you had to change the planet_http_status to http_status - it seems to work on my machine. I'll check when I get home. Improving performance is high on my list, but given my weak Python and the fact that I want to keep it XML native as far as possible, it might take some time :) The "remote" part will probably one or more of: a) atom.xml output from a remote Venus installation b) Atom-over-XMPP (messaging) c) XMPP pub/sub Excellent stuff!

a) atom.xml output from a remote Venus installation

b) Atom-over-XMPP (messaging)

c) XMPP pub/sub

Screenshot here: http://blog.ciarang.com/posts/venus-cache-browser/ I did notice that it's very slow when moving from one feed to another, which may well have something to do with me pointing it at a Venus cache on a different machine via a Windows file share. (Almost the 'remote' part?) Anyway, if I had to guess, I'd say unbuffered file reading, but I haven't had time to look.
