Nice! I'm writing a Python API client at the moment - a couple of suggestions: 1. It's worth taking a look at DictShield https://github.com/j2labs/dictshield or Colander (https://pylonsproject.org/projects/colander/dev/) as a way to formalise your API definition and minimize the amount of boilerplate you have to write. I'd recommend DictShield - the author j2labs is very active on HN and is a really approachable guy. 2. Related to 1 - the Requests library (http://pypi.python.org/pypi/requests) is higher level than urllib* - again using this should help you to reduce boilerplate... Happy coding!
