Programatic Video Editing And Assembling In Python

A Python(Linux) process that would take a configuration file which contains a list of .avi video files and a set of time slices within each video file (begin time, end time or lapse time) and combine these slices (cronologically) into a new video file. sample configuration file: [login to view URL] [begin,end;begin,end;begin,end] [login to view URL] [begin,end;begin,end;begin,end] etc For someone who has done this it should only take a few hours to write this so I'm looking for low bids.
