I've made a Python script to upload pictures to Photobucket

If anyone would find such a thing useful, I'll be glad to share it.

I'm using it to update my nifty sig here via crond each midnight. ;)

It took me several hours over a couple of nights to figure out how to make it work. Finally, I realized that in a multipart HTTP POST, the boundary used is actually "--" PLUS the declared boundary. I don't know why that is, but I figure there's a good reason.

My script has no error checking really, and it doesn't understand sub-albums, as I store all my pictures in my root album. It would probably be easy to add sub-albums though.

On the upside, it's really easy to use. To upload a picture, just do:

photobucket -u foo.jpg

You can also use wildcards. To upload every jpg file in the current directory:

photobucket -u *.jpg

To delete a picture:

photobucket -d foo.jpg

(Wildcards don't work with deletions. That would have complicated matters a little, and it wasn't something I needed.)

I tried to post the script here, but the formatting got all messed up, and as we know, formatting is very important for Python.

And, yes, I did look at Photobuckets terms of service, and I didn't see anything that prohibited this type of thing.

If anyone wants it just let me know, and I'll get it to you.

How big is it?
Can you just post it?

Just fill in the three variables at the top.

EDIT: Leading spaces don't seem to take on here. But I think the intended indentations should be pretty obvious.

I'll see what I can do with it,
and thank you.

I hope it's useful to you.

Replace each "#" with a space. :)

Text only or no HTML or something like that.

I would expect I can find an Emacs mode for Python to do the indentation for me in any case.
