Qualifications

There are a ton of great Python projects out there, but what makes an application "Awesome™"? Please check that all of the following criteria apply:

• [X] Free software with an online source repository.
• [X] Using Python for a considerable part of their functionality.
• [X] Well-known, or at least prominently used in an identifiable niche.
• [X] Maintained or otherwise demonstrably still functional on relevant platforms.

Note that installability via pip/PyPI and a developer-audience focus may warrant a higher standard for inclusion, in keeping with the spirit of the list: http://sedimental.org/awesome_python_applications.html

Additional notability info

This application provides users with a flexible and robust method for finding the information they want from the web using input plugins, filtering the matches in a multitude of ways, and sending those matches where they'd like them to go (and in the format they need) using output plugins. This, in and of itself, is not novel. It is the use of SQLAlchemy to track what has been seen, accepted/rejected along with task scheduling that makes this application shine.
