... Upon which I completely expose my ignorance of REST. I was completely concentrating on SOAP, since it seemed to have much more activity and had not looked at the REST description. It look like, for eBay's purposes, that to use the older xml-based systems, one must append "schema=1" to the requests. *blush*

Ah well, not the first time I have dined on my foot on this mailing list! (Memo to self, stock up on ketchup)

The real drag is: the older XML api had *2* very nice python implementations. I was successfull in less than 10 minutes with both of those. It's a shame.

I was hoping to avoid the REST method, as I would like to have the whole shebang on one computer and not worry about making sure my hosting provider is using the same version of <insert important doodad here> as I am developing with ... I'm just chicken, I guess. :-)

A quick Google for "python ebay" turns up a couple of Python packages
that might be useful. The eBay developer docs talk about REST and XML
APIs as well as SOAP. Looks like you need to dig a little more.
