Flickr Uploadr for Mac sucks, Python and the Flickr API to the rescue!

I’ve attempted to use the Flickr Uploadr for the last few years, and it never has impressed me. It always fails, usually after only about 10 pictures, which really sucks when you are trying to upload hundreds of pictures, which I usually do. So last night, I had over 300 shots to upload, and after several attempts, the Flickr Uploadr just kept on failing to upload for me. I’ve been working on my own upload script (most of which is hacked from other peoples code, I must admit) for months now off and on, so I decided to give it a shot - and of course, it uploaded over 100 pics in one shot, without a single blip. As soon as I get a Subversion repository setup on my host server, I’ll get the code in there.
