How to use ebay sdk in Python?

Question

I have found this code sample to make a query in ebay from here and also downloaded ebay-sdk for Python. How can I install the sdk and integrate this code with it?

from ebaysdk import finding, nodeText

f = finding()
f.execute('findItemsAdvanced', {'keywords': 'shoes'})

dom    = f.response_dom()
mydict = f.response_dict()
myobj  = f.response_obj()

print myobj.itemSearchURL

# process the response via DOM
items = dom.getElementsByTagName('item')

for item in items:
    print nodeText(item.getElementsByTagName('title')[0])

It is quite a simple process

1) Go to http://developer.ebay.com/, register over there, and get the app id key.

2) You can simply do a 'pip install ebaysdk' to install the ebaysdk

3) Copy this file in the same directory https://github.com/timotheus/ebaysdk-python/blob/master/ebay.yaml In this file replace appid with what you generated in step 1

4) Execute the example, this time it will work :)

you might need to install pycurl, beautifulsoup and yaml as dependencies. I strongly recommend to do this in python2.x using virtualenv – subiet May 04 '12 at 09:25
@Peladao Do I need to fill every field of ebay.yaml ?? PLease provide a sample if you can. – Quazi Marufur Rahman May 06 '12 at 13:37
No you don't have to, and I have provided the sample. Check point 3. All you need to do is replace _appid_ with your app_id key, – subiet May 06 '12 at 17:06
the module is on windows using EGG file which is compressed, then the YAML file must be added? – Abdelouahab Pp Sep 18 '12 at 14:37
YAML file doesn't need to be added to the egg, it needs to be present in the same directory – subiet Sep 19 '12 at 10:45

Which directory? The one with your python module? This is unclear – LittleBobbyTables Apr 22 '13 at 15:45
