Amazon API library for Python? [closed]
What Python libraries do folks use for querying Amazon product data? (Amazon Associates Web Service - used to be called E-Commerce API, or something along those lines).
Based on my research, PyAWS seems okay, but still pretty raw (and hasn't been updated in a while). Wondering if there's an obvious canonical library that I'm just missing.

Answer 1
There is now another alternative: python-amazon-product-api. It supports API version 2009-11-01 2010-12-01.
Answer 2
I'm using Bottlenose, Dan Loewenherz's "super awesome Python wrapper for the Amazon Product Advertising API". It doesn't parse the XML, so I'm using lxml.objectify:
ACCESS_KEY_ID = "..."
SECRET_KEY = "..."
ASSOC_TAG = "..."
import bottlenose
amazon = bottlenose.Amazon(ACCESS_KEY_ID, SECRET_KEY, ASSOC_TAG)
response=amazon.ItemLookup(ItemId="B0018AFK38", ResponseGroup="OfferSummary")
from lxml import objectify
root = objectify.fromstring(response)
root.Items.Item.OfferSummary.LowestNewPrice.FormattedPrice
Answer 3
If what you are looking for is a simple, object oriented access to Amazon products (lookup and search), try python-amazon-simple-product-api. Its a new project i've just released:
http://github.com/yoavaviram/python-amazon-simple-product-api
Its the new kid on the block!

PyAWS is no longer hosted on SourceForge. The latest version (0.3.0) is available via the authors website.
Make sure you also grab the patch for Amazons latest API changes, mentioned in the comments.

pyaws seems to be the best one out there. I used it here (my source code) It worked fine for me.

How about boto? Anyone have any experience with it? I just started looking for a Python package for Amazon and boto looks up to date (v1.8c release 28-Jun-2009), active and complete (has a long list of supported interfaces).

The only other library I'm aware of is pyAmazon, which is the predecessor of pyaws. If you're familiar with the Amazon API (or are willing to become so), you could probably put together something yourself with ZSI.

pyaws is the best in my opinion. The most available version is 0.2.0, but there is also a version 0.3.0 that is somewhat harder to find. The best maintained version of it that I have found though, which is based on 0.3.0, is on bitbucket.

Python server side AJAX library?
I want to have a browser page that updates some information on a timer or events. I'd like to use Python on the server side. It's quite simple, I don't need anything massively complex.

I'm interested in precisely extracting portions of a PCM WAV file, down to the sample level. Most audio modules seem to rely on platform-specific audio libraries. I want to make this cross platform and speed is not an issue, are there any native python audio modules that can do this?
