Amazon product-data interface class for Django-friendly PyAWS queries

I am not sure what to say about the state of PyAWS, or its future, what with the multiple forks available and lack of recent updates. The best version I've found is [http://github.com/IanLewis/pyaws](this one), a spiffed-up version of 0.2.2 by Ian Lewis. I wrote this class on top of PyAWS so I could have more pythonic/django-y calling conventions, and to isolate the calls in case I have to swap libraries or versions down the road. You may want to familiarize yourself with PyAWS before using this. You'll definately need Amazon web service login credentials and keys -- they're available [here](http://aws.amazon.com/) for free. personally I use it with [these monkeypatching and decorator-decorators](http://www.djangosnippets.org/snippets/1888/) -- at the top of my personal version of the file containing this snippet I use the two (non-silly) examples from that snippet, to make the PyAWS internal Bag collection class work for me. EXAMPLE USE: # search Amazon's product database (returns a list of nested dicts) from amazon import aws books = aws.search(q='raymond carver') lenses = aws.search(q='leica summicron', idx='Photo') # get the data for a specific ASIN/ISBN/EAN/etc ID number what_we_talk_about_when_we_talk_about_love = aws.fetch(qid='0679723056', idtype='ASIN')
