python-sitemap-generator

A simple Python module to create XML sitemaps with support for sitemap index files.

pysitemapgen will create appropriate sitemap index files (to group multiple sitemap files) for maps with more than 50,000 URLs.

For more details about Sitemap index files, see:

• http://www.sitemaps.org/protocol.html#index

Example usage:

from pysitemapgen import Sitemap

sm=Sitemap(changefreq='weekly', sitemap_url='http://example.com/')

for x in range(1,150000):
  sm.add('http://www.example.com/page-%s.html' %x,
        changefreq='daily',
        priority=0.7,
        lastmod='2015-27-01')

sm.write('sitemap')

You should get 4 files for the example above:

sitemap.xml  sitemap1.xml  sitemap2.xml  sitemap3.xml

Contents of sitemap.xml:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<sitemapindex xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9">
    <sitemap>
        <loc>http://example.com/sitemap1.xml</loc>
        <lastmod>2015-01-26</lastmod>
    </sitemap>
    <sitemap>
        <loc>http://example.com/sitemap2.xml</loc>
        <lastmod>2015-01-26</lastmod>
    </sitemap>
    <sitemap>
        <loc>http://example.com/sitemap3.xml</loc>
        <lastmod>2015-01-26</lastmod>
    </sitemap>
