I have three scripts that I would like written, they are designed to do the following:
Backup.py – Zip a folder and store it on amazon S3 using BOTO with the date and time as the folder name.
Restore.py – Grab a file from S3 and download it and then unzip it in the right location with two commandline parameters (1 = Get most recent, 2 = Get specific file)
Import.py – Check that I have done this correctly and add command line parameter for changing the command
This code is probably 50% completed already and if someone knows what they are doing, could be completed in a very short time. It is really basic Python code, I just dont know python myself.

You could just type "python s3 upload" into web search and see if you
can use the stuff that turns up.
More realistically I'm not sure it makes sense to set up a 30 minute / 1
hour development gig, especially without a completely precise
specification up front. There will have to be some back-and-forth about
the user interface, the script will have to be tested, the developer
will need access to an S3 account if s/he doesn't have it already, etc.
So it's likely to end up taking longer than 1 hour even though the task
is pretty simple. But, maybe someone will take you up on it, and if it
turns out to be more trouble than it was worth, at least they learned
something.
If you already have 50% of the code written, what's preventing you from
doing the other 50% yourself? If you're hitting snags, maybe you could
post what you have so far, and ask for advice.

You might consider putting your request on elance.com or guru.com
where you can hire programmers for small projects like this.

Even though the coding task is very small, I think it's unrealistic to
scope it at less than 2-4 hours, given communication overhead etc. It
would be quicker if it were done in person.
