i'm working on an app which controls satchmo products from google spreadsheets as a means to manage a large product database. It could be used for import only or for ongoing management. However it's only just get tested for the first time right now, and it's very alpha, no real tesing, full of print statements etc.
Few things about it: you can only have one option group per product, you need to be using satchmo with the recent brands app udpate, you need the pydata google module installed, it doesnt understand anything outside the product model except price, within the product model it doesn't undestand taxclass and also_purchased fields (though this could be written in reasonably easily). For images you also need to be able to mount an ftp server folder within your MEDIA_ROOT/images directory (it'll survive without this though). The organising principle is brand, each brand having its own worksheet, updates taking place per brand. One last thing, it's infernally complicated and probably soon will need a big refactor when satchmo gets it product app refactor which apparently is coming soon, in case you're waiting for that. Having said all that when it works it's pretty cool especially the image sync which syncs an ftp folder to the products database using a naming convention on the images. Usefully, it has also allowed the client to stay busy preparing all the product listings while we work on the site. So far, it's going through its first test with the client right now successfully. If that hasn't put you off i'll post if on a public source somewhere. Let me know.
