I'm looking for sample code to generate an RSS feed. I can annotate
my html code with comments/tags to mark the articles, all I need is an
"engine" to process the pages and generate the rss file. If I was a
python wiz I'm sure I could do this quickly but as a newbie, an assist
here would certainly make this task go faster. Thanks...

For this, I highly recommend PyRSS2Gen: http://www.dalkescientific.com/Python/PyRSS2Gen.html

Very straightforward.

If you're wanting to convert HTML to RSS, I'd recommend using
BeautifulSoup for parsing the HTML: http://www.crummy.com/software/BeautifulSoup/

Hope this helps.

Looks like there's an RSS module too:

Fredrik Lundh also has some info on his site: http://effbot.org/zone/effnews-1.htm

Have fun with the snake!
