Installing youtube-upload for OS X

[GoogleCodeExporter]

No problem, but didn't have access to add this to the wiki. 

-- Had some issues working through installing this for OSX using MacPorts.

Here's basically what ended up working for me. (you gotta have macports 
installed already)

$ sudo port install python27    
# installs python 2.7. I had python 3.2 but that isn't supported yet.

$ sudo port select --set python python27 
# activates python 2.7

$ sudo port install py27-gdata
# installs python-gdata for python 2.7

Then remember to change the path to python on the script itself. If you're 
using macports, chances are that the python you want to use is in 
/opt/local/bin/python and not /usr/bin/python2  (Thanks for the reminder to -> 
http://moririn-web.blogspot.com/2010/03/how-to-install-gdata-client-python.html 
)

I had quite a bit of issues, but this seems to be working for me now. Hope this 
helps someone else.

Thanks for the info, no doubt it will help other users. 

The best solution though would be that someone created a homebrew package for 
python-youtube: http://mxcl.github.com/homebrew/

Oh thanks! Hadn't heard about Homebrew, kinda got used to the quirks of 
macports but I'm going to check out homebrew.
