Anyone ever incorporated Amazon Product Advertising APIs in a Google App Engine App? I was searching around to find answers to questions below, and didn't find much, so I figured this might be a better forum to ask.

1. Anyone had any experience with these APIs as a substitute for Adsense / AdMob / other mobile advertising platforms. Specifically, I'm wondering if advertising Amazon products is more lucrative than showing random banner ads from Admob, Mobclix, etc. I imagine if a publisher (a web app developer, a mobile app developer, etc) can do a better job at generating targetted ads based on the information they have about a user through their app, then amazon's products might be more lucrative to advertise.

2. Amazon's license agreement specifically prohibits using this API on a mobile platform, unless an explicit request is made and granted by Amazon to do so. Anyone had any luck requesting Amazon and getting permission?

3. Are there convenient python modules available to help integrate these amazon APIs into a python GAE app?
