I'm trying to figure out at which site I should use for some scripting, any advice would be appreciated.

What I think I need:

A site where high quality, vetted (trough a reliable reputation system) and python writing freelancers make bids on jobs based on a description of what I need.

Some more info, in case I don't really understand what I need:

I need some pretty basic scripts for things like manipulating text in txt files, changing filenames etc. etc. in OS X. I think it would be nice to have the scripts in python cause I plan to learn that language eventually. I have no idea how much I should pay so a site with bids on projects and a reliable reputation system would probably be great. A minimum of shitty indian developers would probably be an advantage, I don't mind paying a bit extra for americans/north europeans.

BTW:

I know that everyone in this business should learn to script, but right now I'm mainly in the business of finishing college with a triple course load. I will learn to write code later.
 


Fiverr - test a couple with good reviews, then take the good ones and pay them more via paypal. I try and use US or European providers, although I have had decent luck with folks from the Philippines as well.

Odesk is not bad either, but takes a lot more time to filter out the nonsense.
