I've always thought that Mechanical Turk's command line w/ XML definitions was overkill, so this goes a long way in getting simple tasks up and running quickly..<p>On a side note, for any Rails developers out there I've developed the Turkee gem, a library that great simplifies the process of getting your Rails forms integrated with Mechanical Turk (<a href="https://github.com/aantix/turkee" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/aantix/turkee</a>).

Awesome... I've got some MTurk experiments brewing and this would be lovely... but, TL;DR, where's the code? Here: <a href="http://code.google.com/p/turkpipe/" rel="nofollow">http://code.google.com/p/turkpipe/</a><p>Seems like a dead project, but still nice to have the code.

This is a great bit of work. I've been looking for an excuse to do some projects on MT.

I have also worked with boto and mturk. Here is a code snippet where I create a hit and then post it mturk entirely in Python.<p><a href="https://gist.github.com/740267" rel="nofollow">https://gist.github.com/740267</a>
