ok, thank you for your answers.
I´m doing this for my own education, so I´ll continue it, but I think, that I won´t publish it, except it will become awesome in a couple of years! ;-)

well, i wrote a simple autoit script that does the following:
read list of games i want from text file
make list of current giveaways
compare both lists
filter out: (entered, missing base game, too low contributor value)
enter givaways
script takes approx 1 minute for the scan and 30s-1min for entering (depending on points and number on matching givaways).
thought about a python script, but some things are not that simple when you do it with python and urllib2 because of the login through steam and cookie stuff.
simple solution: use autoit or a userscript within a browser to let the browser handle that stuff

yes, but I don´t want to learn autoit, I want to learn python... :-) So, my main reason is not the automation of steamgifts, my main reason is learning to program in python. Also with that urllib2 (quiet easy, exccept the cookies :D)

yep, I´m aware of that, the regexp was the easiest part of all... :D

Hi Guys,
atm. I´m learning python, so I thought, my first project could be a script that searches for Giveaways(on steamgifts.com which are on your wishlist (steam).
current status of the project:
-enter your SteamID (of your steam link, like http://steamcommunity.com/id/SteamID/) in a GUI
-automatically searches your whishlist (need to to be public)
-automatically searches steam gift for your games
-opens a file where all already entered gifts are stored (the URL of them)
-gives you a list of all games on your whishlist where you are not entered
further features:
-login to steamgifts website
(detect automatically which gifts you already entered, so you don´t have to enter them into the list)
(get the "price" to enter a gift)
(detect if you have enough Points to enter)
-login to steampowered.com
(get the wishlist even if it´s private)
-detect path of the browser
(to open the gift automatically, that you can enter it)/working atm. with chrome(32bit), tested under Windows8.1 (64bit)
(maybe enter automatic to gifts)
Are you guys interested in that kind of script?
Is that kind of script allowed on steamgifts (maybee a admin/mod could answer me this)?
greetings,
Auti
