The simplest way to build Amazon Affiliate links, in Python.
To install python-amazonify, simply run
pip install amazonify and you'll get the latest version installed
automatically.
Using amazonify is really easy. All you do is pass it the Amazon URL you'd
like to make into an affiliate link, and your Amazon affiliate tag.
>>> from amazonify import amazonify
>>>
>>> # Your Amazon affiliate tag:
>>> affiliate_tag = 'rdegges-20'
>>>
>>> # Some non-affiliate Amazon URLs:
>>> urls = [
... 'http://www.amazon.com/Canon-21-1MP-Frame-Digital-Camera/dp/B001G5ZTLS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1337148615&sr=8-1',
... 'http://www.amazon.com/Transcend-Compact-Flash-Card-400X/dp/B002WE4H8I/ref=pd_bxgy_p_img_b',

... ]
>>> affiliate_urls = [amazonify(u, tag) for u in urls]
>>> affiliate_urls
[
