Boto and comparator "In"

Question

I am trying to use the “B” comparator with boto to specify multiple locales in Mechanical Turk workstations. This answer says that it is possible, as well as AMT docs .

I tried:

min_qualifications.add( LocaleRequirement( comparator='In', required_to_preview=False, locale=['US', 'CA', 'GB', 'IE', 'AU'])) 

I also tried, in different ways:

 locale='US, CA, GB, IE, AU' locale='US|CA|GB|IE|AU' locale='US CA GB IE AU' 

How to do it?

Answer 1

Just because something is possible in the mTurk API does not mean that Boto will support it. Boto has not been updated yet.

Here's how to do it with mturk-python :

 import mturk m = mturk.MechanicalTurk() question = """ <QuestionForm xmlns="http://mechanicalturk.amazonaws.com/AWSMechanicalTurkDataSchemas/2005-10-01/QuestionForm.xsd"> <Question> <QuestionIdentifier>answer</QuestionIdentifier> <QuestionContent> <Text>Hello world :^)</Text> </QuestionContent> <AnswerSpecification> <FreeTextAnswer/> </AnswerSpecification> </Question> </QuestionForm> """ qual = [ {'QualificationTypeId' : mturk.LOCALE, 'Comparator' : 'In', 'LocaleValue' : [{'Country':'GB'},{'Country':'US'},{'Country':'AU'}]}, ] reward = {'Amount' : 0, 'CurrencyCode' : 'USD'} createhit = {"Title" : "Multiple locales", "Description" : "https://github.com/ctrlcctrlv/mturk-python", "Keywords" : "testing, one, two, three", "Reward" : reward, "Question" : question, "QualificationRequirement" : qual, "AssignmentDurationInSeconds" : 90, "LifetimeInSeconds" : (60*60*24)} r = m.create_request('CreateHIT', createhit) print r print m.flattened_parameters
