The code is about printing the title and the author name of each blog post from the blog site 'http://planet.fedoraproject.org'

now if we run the file using ./b.py we output

(virt1)$ ./b.py

output:

title: CatN | CentOS Dojo author: Richard W.M. Jones

title: Daily log July 11th 2013 author: Dave Jones

length=len(author) #to get the total number of post in the blog

for x in range(length):

   print "title: %s " % title[x].find('a').string #to print the title of each post
   print "author: %s" % author[x].find('a').string #to print the name of each  post

html_doc.close()
