Automating batch load of multiple GPX files into PostGIS

[المشرف العام]

I've got 50+ GPX files that I would like to "batch load" into a PostGIS database. All of the track_points data would be loaded into a "track_points" table (with typical GPS fields like lat, long, elevation, time, etc) and the tracks data would be loaded into a similar, appropriately designed "tracks" line geometry table.

I'd prefer to automate this process so that when I get my next 50+, I won't have to hand enter the data into the database. I personally prefer to use Python to script these kinds of processes, but any suggestions are welcome.

My general thought process is to:

1. Get a list of GPX files to process (easy enough through standard Python tools)
2. Loop through each GPX file and extract/convert the necessary data to PostGIS format
3. Insert the GPS data into PostGIS using the psycopg Python library

I think I can manage steps 1 & 3, but am wondering if there is a relatively simple method/library that would convert the data (tracks and track_points) into PostGIS format, or simply the tabular form that I could insert into the already created table.

I've already read "Is there a good GPS track analysis library?", "How to build a geographic database of GPS logs?", and "How to extract .gpx data with python", and have looked into the GDAL/OGR and FWTools Python bindings, but don't want to reinvent the wheel is someone already has a good method for this.
