I ran this code to try the VehiclePartLookup operation:

#!python
api = API(AWS_KEY, SECRET_KEY)
url = api._build_url(Operation='VehiclePartLookup')
fp = api._call(url)
print api._parse(fp)

and got this error:

#!pytb
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/jeff/Desktop/vehicle-lookup.py", line 8, in <module>
    print api._parse(fp)
  File "/home/jeff/.local/lib/python2.6/site-packages/amazonproduct.py", line 324, in _parse
    raise AWSError(error.Code.text, error.Message.text)
amazonproduct.AWSError: AWS.InvalidOperationForMarketplace: This operation, VehiclePartLookup is not available for this locale.

I'm closing this since support for it will cease Nov 8th anyway and I'm not going to get it implemented before then.

Bad News! Amazon plans to cease support for a number of operations due to low usage. VehiclePartLookup, VehiclePartSearch and VehicleSearch are among them.

I haven't yet implemented the VehiclePartLookup operation but it seems that it is limited to locale US only. I'll implement an exception to handle this case and I also have to think of some clever way of running tests for multiple locales.
