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, 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 for free.
personally I use it with these monkeypatching and decorator-decorators -- 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')

also: the IndexError except blocks are there because of underlying PyAWS glitches.
