(or for some other reason Python might be needed)?
Basically how do I run a

Code:

python sitemap_gen.py --config=<path/config.xml>

command?
Can a PhP sc ript be used to run this? Or should I use a DOS window? Or Telnet?
Thanks for helping the learning curve.

Hi kguske

Because a) I didn't know there was a sitemap with NukeSEO until you told me and b) I got curious about Python in general and Python generated sitemaps in particular. The old learning curve. Thanks for the link, this will hold me for a while while I look into it all. I prefer to use what comes with RavenNuke so in the end I'll probably use the NukeSEO sitemap. Thanks Smile

Thanks, Raven, I did read that manual Laughing
