Book Catalog Importer - Python + Google App Engine

The purpose of this project is to populate a Google App Engine (GAE) datastore that will be used to publish an XML book catalog on the Internet. A separate follow-on project will implement the XML book catalog service using the datastore created in this project. The catalog importer will be implemented in Python as a set of GAE cron jobs and tasks that populate the datastore by importing information from several XML data sources available over the Internet. A detailed spec outlining the steps and data sources required to create the catalog is available. Your job will be to: 1. Review the spec and data model and propose changes. 2. Update the spec and data model with the agreed upon changes. 3. Implement each cron job and task. 4. Provide a test suite to validate that the service works as specified. Experience using Python to develop Google App Engine services using the GAE datastore, GAE data modeling, and XML processing is required. If you are interested, please request and review the spec before bidding.
