Takes an itunes feed, optionally a string to match and grabs the itunes compatible xml and turns it into a pandas dataframe. Can also dump the file to a csv.

usage: search.py [-h] [-q QUERY] [-o OUT] itunes_url

Takes in an itunes podcast id, searches for a specific string, also dumps all the shows to a csv.

positional arguments:
itunes_url            URL from itunes for podcast

optional arguments:
-h, --help            show this help message and exit
