Python Implementation of Creating a base64 Encoded
Content Feed
The following create_base64_content_feeds.py script goes through all PDF files under MY_DIR and
creates a content feed for each of them that is added to the base64_pdfs.xml file. This file can then be
used to add the documents that are under MY_DIR to the index.
import base64
import os
MY_DIR = '/var/www/files/'
MY_FILE = 'base64_pdfs.xml'
def main():
files = os.listdir(MY_DIR)
if os.path.exists(MY_FILE):
os.unlink(MY_FILE)
fh = open(MY_FILE, 'wb')
fh.write('\n')
fh.write('\n')
fh.write('\n')
fh.write('

for my_file in files:
if '.pdf' in my_file:
encoded_data = base64.b64encode(open(MY_DIR + my_file, 'rb').read())
fh.write('my_file + '" mimetype="application/pdf">\n')
fh.write('' + encoded_data +
'\n')
fh.write('')
fh.write('\n')
fh.write('\n')
fh.close()
